SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / In an extraordinary act of compassion and leadership, Marine Corps veteran and VetComm CEO Kate Monroe has paid off the GoFundMe fundraiser for Staff Sergeant Veronica Chacon, an injured Air Force reservist and mother of twin girls, after visiting her at home in San Diego.
On July 27, Chacon and her daughters were struck by an uninsured 18-year-old driver in a devastating crash. Chacon suffered two broken legs, while her daughters sustained serious injuries, including internal bleeding, a broken nose, and a dislocated shoulder.
Moved by their plight, Monroe visited the family personally, bringing a gift basket of toys and essentials. During the visit, she pulled up Chacon's GoFundMe page and paid off the balance in full, ensuring that immediate medical costs were covered.
Monroe also pledged to provide ongoing caregiver support, food deliveries, and assistance with Chacon's VA disability claim, underscoring VetComm's mission to stand with veterans in their greatest time of need.
"Nobody matters more to me than our veterans and their families," said Monroe. "When I saw Veronica and her daughters' situation, I knew I had to act. This isn't charity-it's duty."
The story has already gained significant local and national traction, with coverage by both ABC10 News and Fox5 San Diego.
