Mike

Mike is a 37-year-old father of two sons who called United Way 211 seeking food assistance. A military veteran, Mike suffers from hearing loss and back problems, which has caused him to struggle to maintain a job. He was living off his savings while looking for work but having a hard time finding a job he could physically do.

Through the Help2Veterans program, Mike was connected with area food pantries that provide fresh, healthy food for his family. He also enrolled in a job training program that would not worsen his medical conditions. With that assistance, Mike found a new job allowing him to continue to provide for his family.
