Kevin Needs an ID

Donation protected
Kevin is a friend I met at the library. He recently moved to Iowa from Florida to try and find work and housing. His wallet was stolen and now he has no identification, including no social security card. To get  a replacement he needs proof of identify and citizenship. In order to get the needed documents Kevin must to get back to Florida. In order to travel one needs an id. The only means of transportation (besides hitchhiking and/or catching a ride) you can do without an id is Greyhound. I have investigated the cost of tickets and we can get him one for around $150 and the remaining $50 is for food. 

I have been working with and getting to know Kevin for around 5 months. I have done tons of research with him and know the plan he has to get his id is solid. He is partially deaf. He has a fiance that he will be coming back to in Iowa and recently has secured a job. The overflow shelter closes next week and they are determined to get housing but it requires an id.

Will you help get Kevin a bus ticket? I will be working with Kevin to make sure he gets there safely and back. He needs our help and would be greatly appreciative to all who contribute.

Don't know the story of the starfish thrower? Google it! Thanks to Emily Blomme I wear a bracelet that reminds of it every single day. 

Much love to all who consider this request!
