I saw this on my Facebook and I hope that anyone who sees it will be affected by it the same way I was:
Hello, my name is Stephanie MacMurray, my son is (was) a Marine vet who struggled desperately with Ptsd for years. It won..... My son shot and killed himself this past Tuesday. Please forgive my bluntness, but I have come to a point to where I don't know how else to state it. The purpose of my contacting you is purely selfish, we are burying my son this coming Saturday (possibly due to holiday delays) and I do not have the funds to go home. Two of my son's have served their country, and I always believed when told "We are family and we take care of our own", yeah well that was a lie. I have been turned down by every vet organization so far because he was no longer active. I just want to go home and bury my child! If there is anyone you can put me in touch with, any possible way your group can help or whatever, we would be grateful for the help.
I spoke briefly to Ms. MacMurray this morning. She's not looking for a cash hand out. She just wants to bury her son. She seems like a very sweet and genuine person. It breaks my heart to think she might not be able to get to where she needs to be for the funeral of her son. I'm hesitant to post her phone number here even though it was on Facebook, I worry about that kind of thing falling into the hands of idiots who will give this person a hard time. That's the last thing she needs! But you can contact me for it,everyone can find me on Facebook,on my white board here and my email,annarocket@hotmail.com.
Stephanie's son, Jonathan is survived by his wife,Ariel and his son,Sean.
