Nicole states that the Veteran's Administration {"VA"} was never bothered by her dad, for his benefits, for decades, until he became seriously ill and now faces foreclosure of his home due to his humongous medical bills. The VA claims that James March, who is now 90 years old, while being foreclosed upon - is worth too much money to receive assistance.

If for no other reason, than it is a nag upon Senator Marco Rubio!
Nicole March's Petition - for your review
My dad, James March, is a World War II and Korean War veteran with a Purple Heart -- but now that he's seriously ill, the VA is refusing to help him.
Even though his injury from the war caused him terrible back and leg pain throughout his life, my dad never complained to the VA -- he rarely asks for help from anyone. But now that he's 90 years old, dad is really sick and he urgently needs help from an assisted living facility. Our whole family is worried about him: he's barely eating, he's nearly lost his eyesight, and he's suffering from dementia. In just a few months, he lost 70 pounds.
Dad needs constant care, but Mom isn't able to be a full-time caregiver because she's struggling with cancer recovery and diabetes -- and my family doesn't have enough money to pay out of pocket for him to get a home aide.
The VA lost our application for assistance two times before they denied our claim. Even though my parents are crippled by medical costs and their home is in foreclosure, the VA says my dad "makes too much money" to qualify for help. In reality, my parents barely have enough left over at the end of the month to buy their groceries, let alone pay for at-home care.
This case is a travesty and must be corrected - post haste!
Nicole March concludes her plea to help her dad by stating
My dad was there when our country needed him to fight in WWII, healing others as a medic on the battlefield where he earned a Purple Heart. Now that he needs us, will we turn our back on him?
[Please] Sign my petition {HERE} asking that the VA give my dad the benefits he and all veterans deserve for their service and sacrifice?
James March deserves to be honored for his service,
instead of being ignored!
