William Heath Overland Park: I am 63 and 100% Social Security disabled, also a Vietnam Veteran and retired from the United States Air Force.. Wife is 62 and my care giver and she has severe Crones Disease. We are living on a limited fixed income. To obtain any vehicle on our own is financially impossible. We desperately need a vehicle to go grocery shopping and to medical appointments. Obtaining a vehicle would ease our emotional stress and give us much needed security.
Mitchell Fowlkes KCMO: Mitchell is apart of an VA employment program. All applications that the client of mine has applied for that he's qualified for, he is unable to take the position due to not having a vehicle. He had a vehicle but it was stolen.
