When I got out of the military I had difficulties with realtors accepting my Post 9/11 G. I. Bill. It is a Veteran’s educational benefit meant to pay for tuition and living expenses, but with no housing address, I was unable to retrieve my household goods such as my clothing. This left me seeking assistance through Save A Suit. I received a donated suit for my first interview and landed the job, which helped turn things around in a tremendous way.
