Got behind on payment due to illness that caused two major surgeries and 16-week recovery time.
Last May I had to get surgery which kept me out of work for 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 weeks and when I was ready to get back to work, I had a complication in which they had to rush me back into surgery to save my life. I am the sole provider for myself and my son, and due to this absence from employment, I fell behind on all of our bills. I did not qualify for FMLA or short-term disability and it put me into a really dark place. I am employed now, but in this economy making $45,000 doesn't even help me maintain my current bills, let alone all of the debt acquired from being out of work for 16 weeks. I'm struggling to find resources that offer financial assistance, and at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.

Not all Heroes needing assistance are able to be matched successfully with a specific non-profit partner. In these instances the Coordinated Assistance Network allows Heroes to self post their request on the isupportveterans.org platform so that private donations can be collected for their specific need.
