Yesterday I was contacted by the Alcoa Police Dept. about a homeless Veteran they were dealing with.
I was two counties away at the time so it took me a couple of hours to reach him.
This Veteran is a recent amputee and he has a wife and little dog. after meeting with him and seeing the conditions they were living in (Broke down Ford Explorer) I made the decision to put them in a room for a few nights. They are now safe for a while until we can figure out the next steps for their safety. Please say a few prayers for them.
Communities can make a difference by donating to shelters, volunteering time, providing job opportunities, and supporting veteran-focused organizations.
