GoFundMe to feed family and pets and save house.
OK, they're wanting $2,295 by the 15th (plus the $1,095 I'm paying today.)
I'm Terry. I'm a disabled vet living on a fixed income. I'm considered unemployable and not able to get a job. Along with myself, the family consists of my wife, two sons, a dog, a cat, and two rabbits.
I had some large medical (that were not covered by the VA or CHAMPVA) and other bills recently, and because of those my budget was totally shot. I ended up missing my mortgage payment in March. In an attempt to make back the money, I made some investments using April's benefits. I thought I was being safe. I invested in two different things, both of which I had researched. When I was getting ready to withdraw my money to pay the mortgage for March and April, both investments scammed out within a day of each other. I've been using my banks overdraft protection to pay the mortgage, bills, and to buy food for the family and pets. With the $33 per overdraft charge, that really adds up.
It's the 4th of June, and because of the previous overdrafts being taken out of my check on the 1st, I only had about $700 to work with for the whole month. I had to use the overdraft protection to pay the mortgage this month, so I'm now $1,300 in the red and don't get any money until July 1st. $1,300 is beyond the limit, which means I can't even use the overdraft protection this month to feed the family.
The money will be used to buy food for the family and pets, and pay the utilities, which are coming up this week. I normally handle the bills well every month, this is just a spiral caused by the huge medical bills. If I can get a positive balance into my account, I can turn this around. Any donations, not matter how small, or any shares would be appreciated.

I've found a few links that might be helpful:
http://nvf.org/veteran-resources/
The National Veterans Foundation is at 1-888-777-4443; maybe they know about programs or sources of funding in your area.

The name of this website sounds a little suspicious, but they actually aren't selling anything and it looks like a genuinely helpful list:

You can find a Community Action Association near you here: http://www.communityactionpartnership.com/index.php?option=com_spreadsheets&view=search&spreadsheet=cap&Itemid=188
I know you're not homeless yet, but (if you haven't already done so) you might try calling 1-877-424-3838 (the VA's line for homeless and at-risk veterans) to see what resources are available to you. There's also an online chat line (see the link on the left-hand side of this page: http://www.va.gov/homeless/housing.asp )
I wish you and your family the very best! 
Do you mean for a $50 donation, or you wanted to buy one? If it was to buy one, then you can get it (not sure which of the two you meant) here:

If it was for a donation, just leave me a note with which one you want - size, color, etc.
