Anyone who has come into the HAS HEART Coffee Shop has likely been welcomed by Bull. Like many veterans, he put others first before asking for help for himself. Once our baristas heard that he had been sleeping on the floor for months, Tyler Way reached out to local mattress manufacturer Grand Rapids Bedding, which is owned by a fellow Navy veteran, who sprang into action to get Bull off the floor.

Thank you to Ka'Tani Gouch from WOOD TV8 for capturing and sharing this heartwarming (and heartbreaking) story. Veterans NEED MORE SUPPORT.

Two veterans who served during different wars and at different times were brought together by one common teaching ingrained in their years of service: helping others: https://www.woodtv.com/celebrate-250/grand-rapids-veteran-receives-new-mattress-after-months-of-sleeping-on-the-floor/
