Need some Help

Does anyone have any type of connections to get some help to a Veteran that lives in Lake Park Ga. here's his story.

LAKE PARK, GA -

A retired Moody air force base staff sergeant may have only a few weeks left to live after a six year battle with cancer.

Jack Mester's home has deteriorated during his illness, and he's worried about the condition in which he'll leave it for his wife and daughter who are also dealing with serious illnesses.

Jack Mester is a man with an inspirational career. His service for our country exceeds 20 years of duty. He retired from Moody after taking part in Desert Storm as an F-16 crew chief and many other operations.

"I don't consider my self a hero or a person who should be looked up and admired to, I'm just a common man and I'm just trying to do my best," said Mester.

Mester has been fighting esophageal caner for six years and it's about to take his life. His wife suffers from diabetes and lupus and his daughter has epilepsy. The medical bills keep piling up.

"Living on a limited budget, that really hurts because I pay my bills with what SSI gives me and the little money that I have from retirement doesn't go very far," says Mester. 

From being sick for so many years his home has been seriously neglected.

After the family's central air condition unit went out, they had to resort to window units, because they couldn't afford to replace it.

  • I just went to Ty Pennington's website. His contact email is Contact@typennington.com. Another one is Wounded Warrior Project. I work in the courthouse up here in Massachusetts and a couple of my attorneys are soldiers/sailors themselves. Let me ask around and see if they have any other suggestions and/or contact people in Georgia. I'll repost back here with contact information.

  • Ralph and Steven- -Yes, Ty Pennington is the host on "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition" - -I couldn't think of his name either, but I could picture his face and hear his voice in my head (Mr. Busdriver - - MOVE THAT BUS)!!  Seriously, hope you can contact him/them; please, let us know what happens!!

  • Post the way to help him.I know he needs money if we all could each afford say $20.00 each it would build with money to help fix up his residence.Let us know where to send donations or other help.

  • Another contact you might try is (Fox's) Bill O'Reilly- -he is a big supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project, or contact them directly at: woundedwarriorproject.org.

  •  How can we help??? Put this back up when you find out. Also send this to Glenn Beck, I am sure he will get involved to help.

  • Thanks for everyone who answer, I will try other sources as mentions

  • This is a very generous and caring organization, you might want to contact them, Mr. Clussman.

  • Bob -Do you or anyone your acquainted with, know how to contact "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition"?  They do wonderful things for families in need of this kind of help! Generally, they get the entire community involved and just go way above and beyond!

  • Being a disabled Nam-vet myseld and crippled from our friend "Agent Orange", my heart goes out to him. Georgia, like Tennessee, has many agencies that would help this man if he or some friend just knew who and how many to contact. The internet is a good place to start. That's how I receive many services thus my pension keeps me going.

  • I LOST MY PASSWORD,BECAUSE WE FRIGGIN' NEED SO FRIGGIN' MANY!,..Some body please hit these folk's up!,..Sorry for yellin' every body,..but this stuf hits way too damn close to home,..and it hurts,..
