Iraq war vet needs our help

Last night on Pundit Review Radio we put the call out to our listeners in Boston to step up and help a young women, an Iraq war veteran, who is stranded in our city and needs our help.

Her name is Selena Lassien, she is a native of tiny Vinton, LA. A member of the LA National Guard, she spent a year in Baghdad as an intelligence analyst. Matt at Blackfive has more details on her story.

She came to Boston on vacation at 20 weeks pregnant and had some complications. After being taken to the hospital she was put on bedrest and delivered her daughter at 24-weeks. The baby has endured several surgeries, including one this morning.

Selena has been staying with the baby at Children’s Hospital for ten weeks sleeping on a cot. Thanks to the great people at Soldiers Angels, she finally was able to get into a hotel room. We are trying to raise funds to put her up in a short term apartment rental, which as you all know, is very expensive in Boston.

You can help by sending money to Soldiers Angels through PayPal. The Soldiers Angels email addressto send donations to is donations@soldiersangels.org

Or through snail mail at the following address,

Soldiers Angels
c/o Selena Lassien
1150 N. Loop 1604 W., Suite 108-493
San Antonio, TX 78248

Thank you for supporting Selena.
