“Despite everything, Ed shows up every day with quiet dignity, strength, and perseverance. His story is a stark reminder that too many of our seniors, especially veterans, face incredible challenges just to survive. Ed fought for his country, he worked his whole life, and now it’s our turn to fight for him.”

The fundraiser soon proved immensely popular, attracting donations from all around the US. At the time of writing, December 4, the campaign had raised over $1.5 million!

“We are working tirelessly to make sure we set up a secure bank account or trust for him so the money is very safe and he can flourish in the best way possible,” Wiedenhofer said.

When asked what he hoped for in the future, Ed shared: “I’d just like to live a little of somewhat the life I was hoping for.”

Here’s to hoping Ed Bambas gets his wish!
