Sergeant Peters' Story

"I never thought I’d end up on the streets. I served my country for eight years—two deployments, countless sacrifices. But when I came home, everything fell apart. My job prospects vanished, my savings ran out, and before I knew it, I was sleeping in my truck, trying to stay warm. People walked by me every day, but no one really saw me. I felt invisible. Forgotten."

"Then, someone saw my story and shared it through the #VeteranChallenge. Donations poured in from people who believed in me, people I had never met, but who understood that I was more than my struggles. That funding gave me a place to stay, job training, and a real chance at rebuilding my life."
