Just another day in the life...

Helen hadn't thought about what saving on her bills might cost her until she reduced her coverage on the auto insurance and had an accident in the last winter snow. An accident which left her driver side door and hood jammed shut made it virtually impossible to get the car started when the battery went dead. Deployed on the ship until late summer, Helen's husband wasn't there to help. Getting the car towed to a repair shop and determining what could be done to get the car back on the road was easy since Helen had maintained their AAA benefits. But, where would the money come from to facilitate the repairs? Reducing the coverage meant the accident wasn't covered. Helen had already exhausted all her options for financial assistance. When the estimate to get the car safe and back on the road was under $500, Operation Homefront Hampton Roads was there to help. No rush though because Helen was facing knee surgery and had some time before she'd be back behind the wheel. But, the peace of that the car would be ready and waiting when she needed it was all she needed to know. Operation Homefront helps families like this who have a crisis and no where else to turn.
