SavingOurVets Survival Packs for Homeless Veterans

The devastating ice and snow storm that lasted from February 13th through the 17th, caused a massive amount of water pipes to burst throughout Texas. Texans were without power and water for weeks.

Many were without the financial and physical ability to repair their homes. As the snow melted people tried to go to the store for water and food but were not successful because other people wiped out the store's supplies. Trucks that normally brought these stores their supplies were unable to bring emergency supplies. The trucks were unable to navigate the ice packed roads for 3 weeks.

Luckily we had a small supply of food and water which we took to our local veterans. We also took a Mr. Heater with a full propane tank to each Veteran, so that they could stay warm. They survived this unusual storm.

Once the roads were clear we began replacing their water pipes. Then we replaced gutters.

Our Veterans asked us to tell you "If the American Homeless Families Foundation hadn't helped me, I think I would have starved as I froze to dealth! I thank God that the people that donate to this organization have saved my life!"

If we didn't have donors like you, we never could have helped these veterans.

Thank you for all that you do to help our Veterans!!!

With COVID 19 running rampant in the United States, it is making it even harder for homeless Veteran's to survive. These Veteran's continue to be at risk of death from COVID or the cold weather of winter storms spreading across our country. Temperatures dipping down below 0° at night and just 17° during the day. How can anyone walk by or drive by them without seeing or feeling their pain? All they have is what they can carry which isn't much because they are weak from lack of food, water and warm shelter. If you were homeless right now could you endure these harsh conditions? Not many people can.

We were able to give these Veteran's survival packs to help them with food, water, blanket, hat, gloves and a bag to help give them more energy in order to carry a little more and stay warmer through these harsh temperatures and frustrating times.

Every Veteran that received the survival packs cried while saying "Thank You So Much!".

It's your kindness through donations that have made this possible. We never could have helped these Veteran's without you!

Thank you for caring about our Veteran's!!! 

Thank you for making this possible!!!

To all of you, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year!!! Stay safe!!!

From the bottom of my heart "Thank You!!! And God Bless You!!!
