Tracy is a Kansas resident who served in the US Army Reserves and separated as a Staff Sargeant E-6. She served in Desert Storm/Desert Shield and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal among other citations.
When Tracy found GreaterGood.org partner, Feed Our Vets, she was going hungry waiting for service connect benefits and was in crisis in a big way.
Tracy had to give away her dog because she couldn’t afford to feed him anymore. She receives just $16 in food stamps per month. Feed Our Vets provided Tracy with emergency food assistance which prevented her from having to choose between paying rent/utilities and eating.
With the relief Feed Our Vets provided, Tracy was able to catch up on her bills, stabilize her situation, and even get her animal companion back home!
