Serving those who Served

One thing that is near and dear to my heart are Veterans. My family is full of veterans as well as myself, so you can see the bias there. I did some searching around the Dallas area for new things coming up for Veterans, especially those in need. What I found was in South Dallas there is an organization being formed for a "Tiny Home Camp" for homeless veterans. I thought this was an absolute amazing idea! Basically what is going to happen is the community is trying to build tiny homes on a piece of land for homeless veterans to stay at. These homes will include kitchens and the small necessities of life for each veteran. There are currently already 52 veterans on a waiting list for this small community. "From being in a proud position in the military to a not so proud position being homeless, everyone looks at it different but for me it was degrading" said Roy Thompson. This should never be the case of a former military member, we need to take care of our own. I think this idea is the perfect way to start. Great job Dallas, Texas!
