If you are still in need of help, I can give you a few organizations that can give you a grant that will help you out and you do not have to pay it back. These are real legit places, given they have the funds they should be able to assist you, even if you need them in the future, because you are a soldier and do have more resources then you realize! I wish I would have seen your posting before hand, but if you are still in need try: www.usatogether.org,http://www.saluteheroes.org/, www.operationfirstresponse.org . I know there are more that can help you, but can not remember them all at this time. Given they have the funds salute hero's may be able to give you up to $2500.00. Oh also try www.usacares.org, they may also be able to assist you with your needs. If you google either non-profit organizations , or just organizations that help (or assist) Veterans financially you will find all kinds of other organizations that are offering assistance to Veterans, most are legit, but as you know there are always scams, and the one's I listed for you are legit places. I truly hope this helps you out. You will have to provide the organizations with your information such as dd214's, and other info,and send their applications which you can do online, if you need to send faxes try www.trustfax.com for a free 30 day trial -no charge if you cancel before then, and send all the info from your computer via fax! Best wishes to you, and if you know any one else that could also use assistance that is a soldier or veteran pass the info on. I wish I were able to help you, but am not able to do so other then resources I know that may benefit you more then I could.
