A HAND UP NOT A HANDOUT
After serving our country, our military veterans often return home from their service without a home or are at risk of losing their homes.
So, Many homeless veterans are in need a hand-up, not a handout.
Because these veterans have no permanent place to live, tonight, in the United States, 226,200 will sleep on the street, in abandoned buildings, and in places unfit for human habitation.
