we are located in prattvile alabama and we are just getting started we are trying to help the homeless vets in the surrounding area and around the world

like alot of the people involved with this i am a veteran and it hurts my heart wheni see our fellow vets with no place to calll home or sleeping in the streets , and or eating from the trash cans these are men and women who have served there country with honor and just for some reason couldnt seem to just blend back into their lives . we want to with your help of course provide them with an alternative which will consit of first getting them off the streets and getting them to the local va hospitals and providing them with a place to stay we have a building with a facility
capable of housing these vets until they are able to rejoin us as productive members od society along with the housing of these people we want to offer meals and rehab alot of people say what they want to do and preach about the homeless and walk around them when they see them or toss them change on the streets , and complain about them being on the streets in there towns beging for food or work we want to try and end this we understand it is not an over night process but with your help we can make it a day by day process when i got out of the service there was alot of support there for me when i got out but alot of people dont have that and for what ever reason they fall through the cracks and end up homeless for what ever reason noone choosesto be homeless they dont just wake up one day and say it loks like a good day to toss my life and beg for money or that trash looks mighty good i think i will eat from there for a while or i am gonna give up my bed and sleep under that bridge for a while we send millions overseas to aid in all kinds of support efforts all i ask is that you help us support an effort thats not quite so far away if you couldnt find a reason for doing so before think of all the people we have dieing over in iraq or the people that come home and dont go home but to walking the street becuae they cant cope or they cant seem to adjust or get along with there families so they abandon them and the service memeber doesnnt just become homeless so does his family ok i get passionate and log winded when it comes to somthing i believe is worth fighting for and if our people here are not worth fighting for or are in need of our help right here at home prove it to me when you walk by that guy asking for a quarter or the man you cant stand to look at because he is so dirty from sleeping on the street or smells becuae he cant afford a bath or clean up under a bridge and then i will agree with you . until then with open arms and a full heart we beaseach you . will you just stand by or will you join us or is it easier if they live thousand of miles away ??
