The disabled Veteran pictured had been homeless for over a year. Being that he is a Marine who fought in the Gulf War Conflict it seemed so unfair that he could not afford a safe place to call home. There are programs out there to help Veterans like this Marine, but he made 1 dollar too much to be able to qualify for any assistance, which is where the Veteran's Assistance fund comes in. Through your donations we were able to house this Veteran, get him the services he needed through the VA and bought him what he wanted for Christmas a crock pot and silverware so he could cook his own dinner and even provided him with his Christmas dinner.
It's the little things in life that we all take for granted, and something as simple as a deposit for first and last month's rent and the basic necessities that we take for granted that can change someone's life, in this case a Marine, someone who fought for our country so we can enjoy the freedoms that we know today. Thank you for helping us help those who have truly given their lives to protect ours! Best wishes in the New Year!
