This may seem odd, but it has been something that has been driving me nuts in the back of my mind. I know a female veteran that served for 6 years, thought she found a good husband and had 2 kids. Great gal, and ended up, he wasn't such a good guy, and after they divorced ended up at home with 2 kids and raising them on her own without child support ( he stopped paying recently ).
She just started back at school using her GI bill, and is attempting to get on her feet for the future, and especially for the boys.
This may seem odd, but figured I would post and see if there was any interest. She needs a laptop for school, and unfortunately, I'm not in a position yet to be able to buy one (anonymous christmas present or something), and thought I might see if anyone on the car forum would be interested in pooling together to give to someone who desperately needs a break.
Disclaimer: No I am not sleeping with her, or anything of that nature. Just a mutual friend and have known her for a few years, and I grew up with just my mom raising me and my dad never helping out financially.
Feel free to tell me I'm crazy... Just one of those things that hit home, and wished I could do something about it.
