Disabled Veteran Seeks Help and Miracles to help his family
Donation protected
My name is Dustin Sullivan. I proudly served our United States Navy for 7 years as an Aviation Structural Mechanic and was recently medically retried to do my PTSD diagnosis while in service. We finally had our beautiful baby boy, it was an emergency c section and our son had to be air lifted to Denver because he needed to be on a cpap and be in the nicu. My fiance had to stay in Greeley for 48 hours and I went without sleep for 72 hours straight. Once my fiance got to Denver I immediately went to our house over an hour away and fell asleep at the wheel for 30 seconds out of pure mental and physical exhaustion. I totaled my fiances car and after it all, I went home, got our stuff, and drove straight back to Denver with a broken rib and fractured wrist. Our beautiful son was finally released 4 days later.
Hospital staff in the NICU unit forced me to sleep in my car with 20 degree weather, all I could do is cry myself to sleep because I was in so much pain and felt so defeated. I felt so ashamed, belittled, and uncared for but all I could care for was my son and fiancé.... l've never been the one to ask for any type of financial assistance but I missed so much work and after totaling my fiancé's vehicle I feel ashamed to ask for any type of help... so if anyone can help, or knows resources in any way that could potentially help us please let me know. Our son will be on oxygen 24/7 for quite some time... even if anyone can't help, just venting about all this happening to us doesn't matter because our son is healthy and happy.
After totaling my wife’s car, I broke 4 bones in my wrist and hand and fractured 5 ribs. My FedEx job let me go because I could not perform and we have no money for rent or bills. We are at risk of being evicted and having utilities shut off. I’ve reached out to multiple resources to help disabled veterans in need and I’m respectfully requesting your love and assistance.
