Marty Nycum

In June 2007 while airframe mechanic, Marty Nycum, was working, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury and broken neck. Following multiple surgeries, mounds of medical bills, and the inability to return to work, Marty and his wife, Valorie, lost their home of twenty years during the 2008 recession. With the help of a friend, they were able to find shelter in a small camper. Marty and Valorie remained in the camper for two years while she continued to work and be his caretaker.
