A Lemon Grove Navy veteran is in danger of losing his home after his daughter, who was supposed to be taking care of his finances, skipped out on a year's worth of bills.
Fulcher and his grandchildren say they found out about the financial fiasco when Fulcher's wife died last month and they couldn't collect her life insurance.
"For this to happen to me at this time is sickening. I’m heartbroken, especially that it was one of my children that did this to me. I’m saying, what kind of heart does she have? She grew up in this house," Fulcher said."She never gave a reason, just said, 'My fault, my fault..' She left," If the walls of Fulcher's home could talk, they'd share stories of more than 30 years of family get-togethers.The retired military man is now relying on the kindness of friends and family. He's hoping to raise enough money through an online fundraiser to keep him his home.
"My grandson wants me to come live with him in San Antonio. I'd prefer not to. I like to be more independent," he said. Fulcher and his family say they've been talking to banks and other companies trying to buy more time and get the issue resolved. So far, with little success.
