From a friend of ours in desperate need: Hello, My name is Jason, I am a 32 year old wounded war veteran. I served in the US Army for 9 years and 7 months. 2 deployments to Iraq getting injured in Ar Ramadi Iraq in 2006. I am writing you today in hopes of getting help in seeing my daughter. My first duty station was in Bamberg Germany where I met a beautiful German lady and fell in love. We were married in 2005 and our daughter, Kady, was born in May of 2005. In august a of 2009 I had walked into my house to find my wife with another man on my living room floor. We divorced and the battle to remain a part of my daughters life began. My ex did her best to run me off but I ALWAYS stood strong for the sake of my daughter. The German courts granted joint custody and my visitation rights were quite generous, which my ex did not like, she always did her best to keep my daughter from me and in 2010 I was medically retired from the Army and could no longer stay in Germany. My ex took complete advantage of my situation and wouldnt answer any of my calls, texts, or emails, ultimately changing her phone number so I couldnt call anymore. At the time I wasnt receiving any benefits from the Army and was unable to find work due to my injuries and therefore couldnt afford an attorney to find her. Last year I had gotten an unexpected amount of money and was able to hire an attorney and private investigator, discovering that she wasnt even in Germany anymore! She had moved to North Carolina, she ended up marrying the man I walked in on her with who is also a soldier in the Army. They are stationed at Fort Bragg, which is only a 14 hour drive from me here in Indiana. Over the past year I have sent flowers cards and gifts to my daughter but I dont believe she actually received anything Ive sent her. Currently I am trying to pay off debt that I accrued while waiting to receive my disability benefits from the Army and still struggle to pay attorney fees. These last four years have been a living hell for me!! Not only do I struggle with PTSD from 2 combat tours to Iraq but I have been forced to live without my daughter in my life. I really cant find words that express, properly, my daily grief and depression from not having my baby girl in my life. My story has a couple different angles. First, and foremost, I need my daughter back in my life!! Secondly I want to know her justification for this nonsense. During the divorce she had said to me, Im just glad that youre such a good daddie that wont leave his child! Thirdly I want to hear from my brother in arms as to why he would allow her to do such a thing to a fellow soldier. Lastly I want to raise some kind of awareness on situations such as this. With so many dead beat dads in the world, I question how many of them were FORCED into that status?!? I pay $450 a month in child support but cant see my child without paying thousands more!!! My life is already overwhelming with the hardship of had being in war and being so young and unable to work because of my injuries. Not to mention my injuries themselves. Pain is a daily struggle for me and the added pain that sits on my heart is unnecessary. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help this wounded war vet get a little peace with life and help me get my daughter back in my life!! I have NEVER begged for help in my life but now I would quickly drop to my knees and beg for just a phone call with my daughter!! Thank you for reading, I will pray that you are the right person to get my, absurd, story out there and help me. Much love, God Bless! Please go to his GOFUNDME page and help out if you can. Even $1 will send some kind of help his way. ~Rob gofundme/c3jx5k
