Last HERO WWII Battle of the Bulge NEEDS HELP
Donation protected
I am Timmy Woods Lavin and have been in Jay's life approximately for 60 Years.
Jay is a kind loving talented individual.
Right now he needs help! After helping so many other people either by delivering hot meals or standing out in front of the Golden Coral on Hot or Rainy days asking people to help the wounded soldiers that are Disabled American Veterans. He has known that pain every day since being a young man who has been shot up. That never stopped him from helping others or for him to succeed thru the pain.
Now he really needs help and I love him and can only do so much with my limitations. I will give and do whatever is necessary to make his last journey respectful and with peace. I am asking you to help a good soul.
Jay Lavin (formerly Lavinsky) needs our help. At Age 98, he appears to be the last survivor of the US Army's Company B, 39th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division in World War II. Jay fought in the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. He received two Bronze Stars, one for Valor on December 22, 1944, when the 39th Infantry Regiment repelled the German 3rd Panzer Grenadier Division.
On February 28, 1945, while clearing the German village of Derkum at night, his squad in 3rd. Platoon was attacked by a German half-track; his foxhole buddy was mortally wounded and died in Jay's arms. On March 4, 1945, a German machine gun hit Jay with six bullets putting him in hospitals for the next six months. He was discharged from the Army with 100% disability.
Jay is in Hospice Care at home. {When we brought him home he smiled}.
The funds will be used for 24 hour care. Jay is 100% disabled.
Jay lives alone and was recently discharged from a Florida hospital after suffering a fall. He is now at home but needs 24/7 care which will continue for whatever time he may have left; care he cannot afford for long.
Jay fought in the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge.
