Hi Neighbors,

It is with great pleasure for me to introduce to you, Luke, a kind-hearted disabled veteran living in Irvine.

Luke enlisted in 2010 and was serving honorably in Afghanistan when a bomber pulled over in front of his unit and detonated, inflicting permanent injuries to his stomach and right leg, as well as impaired sight and hearing, extreme exhaustion, and dizzy spells that make daily life a relentless challenge. Trapped in a frustrating VA-linked subsidized housing program through an Irvine housing provider based on short-term aid that expires, all while awaiting disability benefits approval. With income falling short and outdated devices like a 10-year-old iPhone and failing MacBooks hindering communication and job access, Luke needs urgent support to break free and rebuild.

Luke is an accomplished guitar player who runs a business teaching guitar to beginners. He pursued his passion for music by attending college in San Francisco, as well as Santa Monica College. Before enlisting in the military, he built a solid work history throughout his life.

Our fundraising goal of $1,500 is to cover immediate essentials like device repairs and essential day-to-day needs.

100% of funds go directly to Luke. If you can give a $15 gift and share this message to bring him back to a path of stability -- donate today and support a veteran who risked everything for us 🥰
