I wish I could help all disabled veterans, especially those that are homeless...and the mentally ill that are homeless...
Homelessness is a symptom and not the cause...my hopes are that one day we as a society will invest in eliminating or at least minimizing people in these conditions...
I gave a little today in the drugstore parking lot...one guy was fixing to turn 70 yrs old...riding his hand driven wheelchair... I pulled over and we spoke a while...I asked him if he didn’t mind how did he lose his leg...he said got his leg cut off 200 miles off shore on a boat and rope accident back in the 1970...said yep I got a settlement and my wife left me...he said you know that song...I got the shaft and she got the goldmine...that was me he said...said a few other things but he spoke from the heart...on my way in he said God Bless you and all your family...that to me was worth more than I could give...
Also helped another guy that was sitting in the shade by his old bike on my way out of the parking lot...we didn’t talk much but I hope I could help him in some way...
I do this now and then...
