So I'm not understanding myself... you are so well-worded, seem to be highly intelligent, are thinking through these issues, all way above and beyond that of the maturity of a 13 year old. I think you would be very good as some kind of writer. Also some technical writing gigs pay well. Its hard to find the legit ones, but legit positions are generally 1) a month or longer of a project 2) of solid work 3) require entering more than data entry. Don't get scammed.
A real technical writing gig will ask for an example of your use of importing charts and graphs into presentation format and using language that a normal person can understand (unless it's legal technical writing)... might want to check that out.
Anyway, more importantly I hate to see anything happen to your veteran's status and assistance. If Texas does NOT have a MMJ legality, I would NOT take the kindly-meant advice of the last poster about selling some top shelf "under the table". If it's traced to you, you stand more than the average person in what you could loose. I would personally not take that kind of risk: your potential medical coverage, pension, benefits, etc... over.... weed? How strict is Texas? I wouldn't go try to find out.
Also thank you for serving our country and I wish the best to you and your wife. I hope one day we can legally mail you something for pain, insomnia and PTSD from one caring person to another, without federal law interferring. That is my biggest wish for the world my son grows up in!

I am decent at writing, but doing the charts and graphs and stuff, I am not so good at. I usually type in a word program and use spell check when posting comments like this so I get mostly everything spelled correctly. We already pawned off most of our stuff the last few months to cover bills. We no longer have a tv, couch, gaming systems, or any of that expensive stuff. All we have in the living room is my computer and hers. We even sold the engagement ring I gave her the day we graduated high school. Thanks for the support guys. Its nice to see somebody cares because our government doesn't. My wife and I can't get finicial aid or food stamps because she makes too much money, but obviously she doesn't make enough because we can barely pay the bills then we have to try and find food. I love my country, but I hate the government.

seems to be the general consensus of most americans these days...
it's disgusting really.. hope you come right soon.
if either of you have any artistic talent, try selling some paintings/drawings.. friend of mine sells some shitty fucking canvas jobs that look like a 5 year old spew up some paint on it.. she sells the crap for hundreds of bucks.. its just finding the idiots to buy it that can be tricky.. but believe me they're out there...

Shame to hear about your situation! I would as suggested earlier contact your local news "on your side" team or whatever they call the local investigative jouralists you have legitimate claim and are being dicked around, you should reach out to local churches and charities as well there is no shame in asking for help I know I have been in similar financial straits with no foreseable out. The community should rally around you and support your rights as you have sacrificed for them. I'm sure you could locate someone willing to give your story some coverage, there's TV, radio, newspaper and internet. Here is an idea may be a bad one but I'll toss it out, Get a website tell your story accept donations and once on ur feet start a non-profit related to your disability, continue to share story and inspire? Too optimistic? Too Hollywood? Still u get my point do something for yourself with what you have use the resources in your community and as someone stated earlier build a brand. Good luck!
