My name is Anthony Santiago. I’m a 35-year-old, five-and-a-half-year disabled Army veteran. I have a 5-year-old, a 14-month-old, and now a one-week-old—all precious baby boys. I’m currently collecting disability and I take care of myself, my boys, and my disabled grandfather.
I do DoorDash deliveries to supplement my disability. I’ve had two major back surgeries and need to have a few more. We have been renting a car from Enterprise for over a year for about $1600-2000 a month depending on the rental and time of year. We have been trying to buy a car but cannot get approval because I was an idiot with my credit.
Renee, my case manager told me to reach out to you for assistance. If someone needs the help more, by all means help them first. I can continue to work hard and eventually I will get it taken care of; I always do! Either way, thank you for your time listening to my story.
Gilmore Hero Foundation is committed to providing assistance to veterans and first responders in el dorado county and beyond.
