Jeffery Marshall is a Marine Veteran who honorably served as an Infantryman during the Vietnam era. In 2020, after the height of COVID, he tragically lost his wife, who had been the primary source of their financial income. Shortly after, he faced another devastating loss when his storage unit, which contained all of his personal belongings, including his DD214, was lost. Despite managing to keep his home for a time, his disability eventually interfered with his job as a delivery driver, leaving him with no choice but to live in his car. The VetNet Program was able to connect Mr. Marshall with OC4Vets, where he began receiving behavioral health support to cope with his recent losses. Through this program, he was also afforded the opportunity to be housed at the Villages at Cabrillo. Additionally, the VetNet Program provided Mr. Marshall with the chance to obtain his forklift certification, bringing him one step closer to gainful employment.

Since joining Working Wardrobes, Daniel has achieved milestones he never thought possible. He has enrolled in a paid apprenticeship program and will also be attending a two-year, twice-weekly school program to pursue his new career path as a Journeyman in the Laborers Union. With his first paycheck, Daniel was able to buy school supplies, shoes, and clothes for his son, as well as cover the cost of a haircut. He also invested in reliable transportation by securing car insurance, fixing his brakes, and paying his car's registration fees. "I was never able to do these things before," Daniel shared proudly.
