A 2017 Point in Time count across America identified that 553,472 individuals in America were homeless.

Almost 185,000 of those identified as homeless are families (adults and children)

Over 40,000 of those homeless individuals are Veterans.

And another 40,000 are unaccompanied children and young adults.

It kind of makes you tear up that in this land of opportunity, and wealth that over half of a million individuals have no home.

They live in shelters, abandoned buildings, in back alleys and on the streets.

Most of them go hungry.

And are cold.

Our country’s prosperity is leaving many working family behind.

Many came to their situation from a single financial disaster.

Medical problems and mental health issues.

PTSD.

Many just need a helping hand.

A chance to start over.

It could be any one of us.

Make a difference.

Thank you.
