A Veteran’s Story of Survival After a Fire
After a fire destroyed their home on June 14th, a veteran and their family were left with few options. Unable to afford a hotel, they moved into a shed, making it livable with an air conditioner and insulation from USPS bubble envelopes. They powered their essentials with a generator but struggled to keep it fueled, often sacrificing food to do so.
Desperate, they turned to a Facebook group for veterans and were referred to Guardian Community. “By the grace of God, we finally got the help we needed,” they shared. Guardian provided food and fuel for the generator, bringing much-needed relief. Reflecting on their journey, they said, “God is always with us, especially in troubled times.”
