Hello. I am a disabled veteran of us army. I reach out because I have tried every other means and I need help to travel to see my dying dad who also is a veteran and diagnosed with mutiple myeloma a bone cancer and was in remission for 4 years. I have not seen him for going on 7 yrs. We talk on the phone and it is killing me to. I cry every day and cannot sleep or hardly eat or get out of this hopeless fearful feeling I wont see him again. He needs me and I have no other family but my mother and she has dealt with skin cancer on and off and at their age they are so weak and it is just heartbreaking. i have no credit to use to get there and told to hitchhike which in my past i was a victim of rape and abuse physical so to afraid and its 2400 or somiles. I wish to take the bus or fly and have a hotel and rental car. they are about 1 hr plus from atlanta. I have no means to move my things in storage so I dont keep paying rent and I am sharing rent with an abusive ex husband. we are divorced but i felt forced to allow him to stay because i need to have shelter and pay my nesecarries to survive. i am a veteran of us army. i thought and believed that was held in some regard and honor but i have not experienced that . i have no family virtually but a daughter who does not hardly call me even and is happy and married and does not want any intrusion in her life and happiness she said she has her own life now and for me to not tell her my troubles or ask for financial help. Her and her husband bought a beautiful 350 k home after 1 year of marriage and I ask if I could stay there and try to save the money but she does not want that yet I took care of her and her grandpa and they lived in my home until divorce in 2003 and I lost everything and she lived at home until almost 21. She will not let me stay even one night she says it will be to much stress. she just has broken my heart. I am telling all of you the truth. I have to have movers and financial help to put things in storage and travel to ga or drive there in my current car but I need help or I will not see my Dad one last time. I am embarrassed and just so hurt to be in this situation but in my times past I have helped several people and thought ok if now I reach out. guess its my turn and it is a very humbling experience. Pls help me and I can give the information how but last time I got a fraudulent ck for 3900 and went to boa and they made me sit there hours to clear me of printing the ck from home. i have no criminal record and just trusted in blind faith and it caused further damage to me and i went right back in abusive relationship. pls who can help me ps help me. I am a good descent law abiding kind and generous person when i have it and i just happen to need help now to travel and have lodging in winder, ga and to visit my dad and spend his last days or mos doctor said get there asap. pls help me I dont have no way to bury him and veterans will only provide 350 when that happens. pls help me make his last days kinder and have my support and love there he crys on the ph everyday. he almost cannot talk he is so weak. he keeps praying for a miracle.

Dear President Obama and First Lady and Harry Reid:
I am desperately in need of help to move and go visit my Dad who has been diagnosed with mutiple myeloma and prior battle prostate cancer. I am in a abusive relationship only because of sharing part of the rent. He does not pay even 50 percent but his help financial provides for the difference in groceries. I have stayed on the phone with my Dad for almost a year because I have no way to travel there. I have a low credit score and not approved for housing and I am a veteran. I pay my debts on time but I struggle. I am a veteran of us army. I am a veteran that served and a tragic event happened to me 33 yrs ago and I do receive compensation but the regional office in reno nv never paid me for the 33 yrs and when I went in Army I went in as E-2 and with honors and I wanted a career in the Army and nursing and to travel and to help our country and to be a postive force in politics. I have got in a relationship that is abusive and causing me so much stress and fear and the womens shelters dont help and then I have to leave my apt and my vehicle which the veterans did not approve a one time auto allowance which I am asking you to change for veterans with 100 percent disability and not just loss of limb or sight etc., I have poor sight and have to wear bifocals and I have a injury in my knee that was worse from serving and now severe arthritis and daily chronic pain and I am only 51. I have suffered for 33 yrs. I did not get any back pay but 6 or 7 mos and I should of got 10 years or minimum 5 because of the years it took to get VA to help me. The honorable discharged me but I feel wanted me to disappear or treated me like that and I was only 17 when I was raped in the service and it stole my innocence and my dreams and my personality and my trust and I have had several failed relationships all my life since 17. I was full of hope and dreams back then and now I am full of sorrow and worry and hopelessness. Pls help me. the regional office in reno nv ignored the many yrs I waited for even medical and they are slow to help me and I have many physical issues due to the event and stress and current situation that is only perpetuated. I was only a minor and the Army took responsiblity for me and failed to protect me as I gave oath to protect my country and they said is reason I only got back pay to when I filed claim which I did not know to file a claim and they never told me to seek medical. I only learned from talking to a veteran by happenstance and then I filed and rated 100 percent but again they have only paid back 6 or 7 mos. I need help to get to ga from reno to see my dying father pls. i have no airmiles or able to rent a car or hotel for two mos or less. Please help me. I have worked and served my country only to be forgotten and left alone and without any power to help myself.
