I am grateful for Final Salute and their excellent staff! As a Navy disabled veteran of Persian Gulf War, I dismissed so many signs of PTSD and depression/anxiety and paranoia. I wasn’t paying bills on time due to unexpected car repairs and a family emergency; I became easily agitated. I didn’t know what to do to be able to pay my rent and other obligations.
Even though it’s just me in my household, I felt incapable of taking care of my other family members and my household. Spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially, I was suffering and didn’t know how I would survive and live. I realized that as a sailor with an extensive medical background(because I will always see myself that way) I was ashamed of who I had become. How could someone who wore the Navy medical uniform feel so inadequate, weak and be in such need? I am grateful that God was on time in ny time of need because He sent a phone call from the recruiter with a job offer and I saw the Final Salute ad on Facebook.
I was still behind two months on my rent and facing eviction ( the eviction judgement was entered into the court system on February 6,2026) I interviewed and was offered the job working in Perioperative/Surgical services. I applied to Final Salute and received a positive email response in less than 24 hours. I knew that God, who is my Jehovah Jireh(the Lord my provider)was working in the hearts of the many dedicated workers at this organization. They made the process so easy because their main concern was helping me through my time of need;and ensuring that I would be able to maintain suitable housing in the months ahead. With my new job, I was able to pay my January rent and Final Salute paid my February rent payment. I can stay in my handicap accessible home.
Thank you Final Salute for providing me with excellent service and quality support in my time of desperate need!!!!
I will be forever grateful for your assistance! Grace and Peace to Final Salute, Inc and its caring staff!!!
