SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Operation Homefront needs your
help to support a wounded warrior in need in the Louisville, Kentucky area.  


This Army Reserve soldier was deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq during his
10-year Army career.  While deployed he suffered gunshot wounds, hearing loss,
knee problems and post traumatic stress disorder.  This soldier is receiving
40-percent disability from Veterans Affairs, which brings in $734 per month in
income.  


This soldier and his wife have four children, ages 2, 4, 8 and 9.  They were
evicted from their home in June and are now homeless and staying with friends
as they can. They were recently approved for Section 8 housing and presently
are looking for their next home.  The family does not have the funds to pay
the required deposits for their new home. 


In addition, the family had another child in August; the baby passed away in
September due to an infection.  During the final months of the pregnancy, the
spouse was on bed rest and unable to find a job to supplement the family's
income.  


Operation Homefront is requesting your help in supporting this family and
their food and financial needs.  We are accepting cash donations, as well as
donations of gift cards to support this family.
