Marco is an Army Veteran who requested a Supply Crate for his father who had to give up his games to make ends meet.
Hello! My name is Marco, I served four years in the Army. I was attached to 1ACB 7-17th ACS at Fort Hood, TX. Over my four years I spent a little over of 2 years deployed to EUCOM and South Korea. I recently transitioned out of the military in June of 2023 and have had issues adjusting to civilian life, but one thing I found that helped during my down moments was video games! I am also submitting this request for my Father who also served four years in the Army from 1990-1994. He was attached to the 101st Airborne and 7 ID, my father worked as a sheriff for 20 years but suffered a heart attack while at home one day, he had to get medically retired and forced to stay at home with instructions not to do any strenuous activities. My father was always an active person and ever since he got retired he is depressed and often suffers PTSD episodes from work. My dad had to sell his games and system to pay some bills a few years ago while I was away in the Army, he actually was the one who introduced me to video games and I would love the opportunity to help him with a system of his own along with some of his favorite titles!
It disheartens us to hear when a Veteran has to give up their game consoles to make ends meet, but we understand as video games often have a decent resell value. Being able to help a Veteran who gave up their video games to pay bills is all the more worth it, however, as we can get them back into gaming.
Good afternoon,
Sorry I totally forgot! I’ve been out of state for a while but I managed to snag a photo for ya!
You are welcome, Marco. We hope your father games to his hearts joy.
