Seeking some assistance

Hey there, seeking some assistance. Working on a my project "Over the Berm" -- Originally written as a personal journal while deployed in Afghanistan, this story depicts a families journey from the 9/11 tragedy thru Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War on Terror. AS I began writing for the first time, alone, my wife battling cancer, an autistic uncontrollable young boy and 2 other children, I found support for this project early on. Working with MUSA (Greg Bishop) and the Office of Chief of Public Affairs I was able to realize the power behind this story. We received the Letter of Support to Produce from the LA Office of Chief of Public Affairs. We are now seeking help to finally get this project into production. As I began this journey from my Wall Street office to become a soldier, my family had their own journey. Deployed to an austere combat environment in Fallujah, Ramadi, Habanija, the story follows my personal experiences as well as my medical team. My wife left behind to live across the country with an undiagnosed Autistic child and a newborn, my daughter born just 6 days before I deployed. This is not just a soldier's story, but a military family story. What has yet to be addressed is what actually happens when we are deployed to our families. The struggle of the unknown disposition of their husband at war and the tribulations of becoming a soldier's wife and what it means. Help me get this off and running. Script is completed, WGA Registered and Copy-written

Sounds like a strong story. I'm not in a position to help other than offering moral support but all the best with it!
