• Daran Reserves: His unit had been activated and they were training up for deployment. One day they were excused for lunch he was injured in a car crash. It was ruled in the line of duty. He was hospitalized for 3 months. Daran has a traumatic brain injury, which has resulted in short term memory loss. Based on a recommendation from the director of student services at his college (with a doctorate and a specialty in assisting students who have disabilities that may impact their educational goals), we provided him with a laptop computer. The school will work with Daran to assist him in using the laptop to plan properly and to manage his time and learning within the limits of his condition.
• SSG Garren was on vehicle patrol in Khalidiyah when an IED exploded on the eastbound lane on the right side of the road. He sustained shrapnel to left foot that developed to compartment syndrome. SSG Garren's left foot is paralyzed from the knee down, and walks with the use of a brace. Due to some clerical errors, his benefits were suspended and he fell behind on his rent. To avoid eviction, we paid his rent to keep him in his apartment and he is now at a point where he can sustain the expense himself.
• David Clark former Marine: age 43, served on the presidential security detail for Ronald Reagan. On November 17, 2007, while serving as an Operations NCO for the Missouri National Guard, he was assaulted and suffered a fractured skull that left him with a traumatic brain injury. He was admitted to the intensive care unit and remained an inpatient until February 2009. David’s home needed several modifications to accommodate his condition. The JFL II Foundation paid $3,414 to install assistance rails in the bathroom and bedroom to help David get in/out of the bath and bed, and a wheelchair ramp on the front of the house.
• Sergeant US Army: currently on active duty, married with three children. She was injured in Iraq at the end of 2008 by a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). The incident left her with several injuries that require constant medical care and evaluations. On Christmas Day 2008, a house fire caused $45,000 worth of damage to her home. The JFL II Foundation paid the $1,370 deductible that she could not afford.
• Sergeant US Army: medically retired in November 2008. He has limited use of his right arm as the result of several combat injuries incurred in Iraq. The JFL II Foundation paid $900 to have a snowplow mounted on his vehicle, and he is now able to earn income to supplement his Army medical retirement.
• Specialist, US Army: a disabled veteran living in Terre Haute, IN.  He was injured in Iraq in the OIF/OEF campaign and was medically separated with an honorable discharge.  Since that time he has worked very hard to seek the treatment to rehabilitate to the best of his abilities but is still working on it.  His only source of income presently is the veteran’s disability due to the strenuous time demands all the rehabilitation places on him.  Due to a damaged furnace, his family was living with 40-degree temperatures. His furnace had severe damage, a clogged flue, and a gas leak.  He was forced to switch out his furnace, which he could not afford. He also received a severance pay from the Army, 75% of which they withheld from him and decided to pay in installments beginning 8 months after he thought he would get the money. We paid for the furnace and labor, totaling $3600. He had contacted 200 veteran’s organizations prior to us. Most did not acknowledge him, and few claimed they did not have the funding to support him.
