D, a local 23 year old female
Iraqi war vet who has been out of the military and essentially homeless for the
past six months. She was being assisted
by another Gulf War disabled vet who helps vets in need. An owner of ARC who
works for Job Corp has been working with her to get her job training and
education. He has managed to get her
placed in a training program for Certified Nursing Assistant at a NC school. Her VA benefits have not yet kicked in and
she had no money to provide for herself.
She was scheduled to be enrolled on a Tuesday morning but as of the
Thursday prior she no longer had a place to stay, had nowhere to go nor any
funds to provide for herself. Change for
a Dollar was able to put her up in a local motel for four nights and provided
her with a gift certificate to Cracker Barrel to be able to get meals until her
bus ride to school on Tuesday morning.
Amounts: $258 + $100
