Eden Village-- Tiny homes in Wilmington for homeless Veterans and others. Mary Boston and Phyllis Mannix visited Eden Village to see how best to support previously homeless Veterans. Photos show a tiny home and Mary and Phyllis with an Army Vietnam Purple Heart Veteran (previously homeless) who now lives in Eden Village and considers it his "forever home." Phyllis is holding the Veterans Purple Heart Coin. To stay in Eden Village, residents have to learn how to work and get back on their feet. Recently, film crews for RJ Decker were in Eden Village and residents got paid for being film extras. If you get a chance, please take a tour of Eden Village.
The Auxiliary thanks Eden Village for all they do.
