"We were awarded an emergency fund from the TerpVets to help pay down some of Emma's medical bills. We owe roughly $17k in outstanding medical bills for my daughter. We were sinking fast and it got to the point we were about to lose our vehicles because we could no longer keep up with the growing debt. So this takes ALOT of stress off me and especially my wifes back while I try to finish up school without my VA Benefits (They end this month). So thank you to all my TerpVet friends and especially Brian Bertges for talking me off the ledge, so to speak and knocking some sense into me. Ryan H. Scott Jason Musick Aaron Bricco, you guys are awesome, and I wish I could spend more time helping out with TerpVets, as its the best group of people I have ever been around."
