Hi my name is Jennifer Whetzel  I am the wife of PFC Mark Whetzel. 
We are currently stationed here at Ft. Bragg NC.  We have one child 
she is 10 years old and one of gods blessings he gave us. We are in
 need of some assistance with food and bills. 
 
My husband was hurt during combative's training getting ready to 
deploy. He had to under go reconstructive shoulder surgery. Since 
then we have accumulated very large phone bills and maintenance 
repair bills for our only vehicle. My husbands injuries where so severe 
that he was sent to UNC Medical center in Chapel Hill NC. With the 
price of gas and such it has caused a very large hardship on us. Plus 
there has been an issue with my husbands pay for sometime now. We
can not afford to pay our phone bill our for gas to get my husband to 
the Dr. We cannot even afford to buy food for the household. We 
spend about 30.00 per pay on groceries because that is all we have 
to spend. When you only receive $153.00 per pay that does not allow
 for much. If there is anyone out there that could possibly help our 
family out it would be most grateful. Due to current health condition 
myself I am unable to work or I would to help my family. If there is 
any place you can refer me to that would be helpful as well. We have
 been to AER and currently have 3 loan payments that we pay for the
 help we have got from them. Again any help or information would be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Whetzel
