Marine veteran receives 30K in furniture for new home from Morris Furniture Company

Morris Furniture Company, with the help of the community, is giving a retired veteran a fresh start with 30,000 worth of furniture.

After being injured in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine veteran Corporal Joshua Sust medically retired.

“I got hit by an IED in 2011 in a vehicle patrol which resulted in open fractures in my left arm and a shattered tibia and fibula,” said Sust. “My journey led to me electing to have an amputation below the knee in 2015, and it basically ended up saving my life because I was not very happy.”

Since then, he’s had difficulty finding a home that fits his needs.

“I could never use my wheelchair. I always had to use my crutches, and here in Ohio we know it rains every day like it is now, so getting up and down the stairs was a problem,” Sust said.
