Created April 20th, 2024

As some of you may know, I had Toxic Exposure while serving my 29 years in the military. Specifically, a valve broke on a piece of equipment that two of us were working on, causing us to get soaked in JP-4 jet fuel, something so toxic that it's no longer made anymore. The two of us were soaked, drank it, inhaled it, etc. We were exposed for five hours since we had to do environmental remediation first. This, including PFAS in fire fighting foam, and who knows what in Iraq.

This has caused major damage to my central nervous system. I have a team of 10 doctors trying to figure this out, with no luck so far (they've been working my case since 2017).

My lawyer and I have been fighting with the VA since 2019. Andrea had to quit her job to take care of me after I was forced to take disability retirement in 2020.

I NEVER thought that I would be asking for help, but here I am. Anything that you could donate to help us out would be GREATLY appreciated. (I'm not putting a goal on here because I already feel bad enough just doing this.)

Thank you.

Rob (USMC/USN(RC) 1986-2015)
