WW II Veteran home burns in Tennessee
- Thread starter Seed tick
- Start date
Did you look and see how close Portland, Tn is to the Kentucky line? He’s practically from Kentucky (And probably close to 175 years old) so give him a break.
He didn’t ASK for shit! His neighbors set up the accounts to help. Anybody who fought at Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge and picked up shrapnel in both legs has EARNED a little help in my opinion. Maybe not a smart move not having insurance but I would never call a guy like this ignorant!
How you can help a 96-year-old WWII veteran rebuild his home lost in a fire

For a lot of folks on fixed income, it can be a matter of do you want home insurance or do you want to eat?

Well...you never asked for the "Mega Super Dickhole" award im betting, but you fucking well won it.
I clicked the "Donate here" link, go fund me, my 200 turned into 225, 25 buck tip to go fund me, pay the bank directly if you can.
Comforting to know, cost all the george floyd contributors paid 25 more also.

Go be a worthless piece of shit somewhere else fuck nuts. Who the fuck are you to assume how this all came about. Don't wanna help a man out? Fine. Just learn to keep your fucking cock holster shut about shit you have zero clue about. Fucking Punk!
1J04, I love watchin you work Brother 
Self award....
Make it so, Number One !
Throw one in there for Jimmy while you're at it.........
It's a "suggested" tip to help GoFundMe run their operations/servers. On that donation page, I have the option to pick any "tip" amount I want including zero. Depending on the funding source, they may be eating a 2-4% processing fee.
I most likely missed a pre-populated box, just pissed me off when when I got the email telling me it was 225, not 200.
Annoying as fuck either way. Much rather give 25 more to the Vet in need.

You know me Captain. To quote oneself would be....illogical.
Done. And the 'tip' option that goes to gofundme is big as shit on the page and even has a slider to help you adjust the amount. At least on their mobile page.
I grossed up the amount by 5% in case they take CC fees, but left no tip, so either he gets the full amount or hopefully a bit extra.
Not patting myself on the back, just a suggestion for anyone else having the same conundrum of using a ‘charitable’ org that might not be passing on 100% of the contribution.

Im a little over an hour away. Im going to see if I can volunteer my services to finish demo on the house dig his new footers and utility hookups. Id love to be able to help this gentleman out. Can also come back and landscape it when done. Maybe he can take the money saved from this and pay his insurance for a few years. I will call the bank tmrw and see where it goes.
Too often as mentioned above choices have to be made sometimes. Cant believe what was said about this by another member. Hope he never needs help with an attitude like that.

I'll put a check in the mail to Farmers Bank tomorrow.
Haha, I was focused and missed it by this much (.........................................................................................................................................................................................)
thank you for this. Will send some as well! My grandfather is going on 97, fought with Patton the entire war, and still pretty sharp but as they age, limited intuitive and cognitive abilities become more apparent. He more than earned the benefit of the doubt from this guy. Sending money tomorrow...................
I'm probably jaded because of the constant bombardment of "help this ex-military guy". Far too often they have expectations of being special because they enlisted.
Bunch of women in here jumping on their emotions before they've had any critical thinking time.
Still, it's fucking stupid to not have insurance on your house if you can't afford to replace it.
No, you're just an asshole that keeps doubling down. If you don't want to donate, that's fine. But shut the fuck up about how this man is stupid. A house fire is a horrible experience whether you have insurance or not.
These people on the Hide here sure helped me when I needed it. My house also burned and the money donated was a huge help. Insurance or not I still got fucked, and had to borrow money to finish my house.
Now go fuck off Chevy man.

Let’s hear about your service and sacrifice? Wait nevermind, this thread is about a real man.
I talked to a Lady at Farmers Bank yesterday afternoon and asked how the response was, her answer was “overwhelming”. Proud to be a Member and fellow “deplorable”
Called the bank today I am waiting for a phone call from a gentleman that has taken the reigns on getting this gentleman's house taken care of. As soon as I find anything out I will post it up. I will also make him aware of what's going on here to help him out.
Ok, you did it. You just double downed on "Fucking Tard of the Month".
Wut?
You're not "jaded", sport. You're "Fucking Ignorant"! Period. You're now trying to use current events to cover for "your" inability to realize much of what has already been said.
Suffice it to say that this "Warrior" isn't, and didn't, ask for shit! He's earned some god damn respect, especially from us that served as well, AND understand the situation and choices our elderly have to make every fucking day. It's criminal for them to be treated as they are. And then we have a Vet who went through UNSPEAKABLE HELL for you, guys just like you, to open their Cock Holster and not only "assume", but literally berate his situation, because you can.
WTF is the matter with you. If you had an iota of common fucking sense, you'd just shut the fuck up on this and get back to jacking off to your Barry Manilow Poster.
Where do these fucking people come from....................
You're a gawd damn rock star Brother! I'm so glad you chimed in cuz that fucking douche nozzle doesn't know what he doesn't know. And then we have you. One of our Brothers that unfortunately went through the unthinkable. The horror of a house fire.
Pay no never mind to that weak minded Cuck. Reality and Life will smack his little ass soon enough. And there he'll be. All uh fucking lone! As idiots like him often are.
Even among combat vets, the men who waded ashore on the beaches of Normandy, or parachuted into the Cotentin peninsula, or endured the horrific conditions in Bastogne hold a place of special honor. This man deserves our help and respect for the things he endured and the blood he and his friends spilled.
There aren't many of these guys left... Every person that enjoys freedom today should feel humbled to be able to help them out however they can.
If you can't understand that, then I mostly just feel sorry for you.
