CHAMPION — After a two-week trip out of state, a veteran found his house frozen, with his well pump and water heater both frozen and broken — and it would have stayed so had the 906 Warrior Relief Fund not financed the repairs.

“I would like to express my deep gratitude to the 906 Warrior Relief Fund,” Mark Feldman of Champion said.

“Times are harder now than ever before, and after seeking help and being turned down by numerous state and federal programs, I was made aware of the 906 Warrior Relief Fund.

“The application process was easy to navigate, and everyone was extremely helpful. Thank you again, Warrior Relief Fund.”

The 906 Warrior Relief Fund provided nearly $1,400 to Feldman, who only needed to apply for it.

Yet the relief fund was not the only one that helped him. Kukla Well and Drilling assisted as well. The company spent more than 40 minutes in the cold taking apart the well pump and fixing it.

“They didn’t charge me a penny. They said sometimes it’s not about the money,” Feldman said.

Feldman found himself in a dire situation this winter and is very thankful for those who helped him out and recommends the 906 Warrior Relief Fund to any veteran in dire straits.

“Absolutely without question, they were really nice and treated me like a human being. They pretty much did everything, and all I had to do was fill out a small application,” Feldman said. “They helped me out when no one would.”
