I am a veteran that lost most of a leg in Afghanistan (at age 18) naively doing what I thought was defending my country. I am a College Graduate with a “good Job,"  I am lucky one. I am able to pay my bills most of the time. We still live check to check.

My (almost) wife is a teacher who pays for books for her classroom, she buys the supplies, and her school does not have the funding to pay her to do art so she does it on her own time with the kids. between the two of us we have 60K in student loans.

We share a three bedroom apartment with family so we can try to save money for our future (which we can’t). I am terrified there is no future. 

I am crying as I write this because I am ashamed I can’t provide for my family. 

I am the 99% and we are watching you.
