ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Sgt. Roy Wilbur is excited to sleep in his own bed and cook in his new kitchen.
It has been a difficult year and a half for the disabled Marine.
Twice injured in combat, he was already struggling to stay in his St. Augustine home when his pipes failed. He spent several months living with no running water in the house. Then, his stove caught fire, forcing him to move out.
That’s when the veteran asked for help, and Operation Lifeline was there to listen.
