WWII Veteran and Christian Missionary Needs Your Help
William (Bill) Baskett is a 94 year old veteran and Christian missionary who is in imminent danger of losing his housing. He needs your help.
Bill and his wife Daisy moved into a residential care facility earlier this year. However, soon after they moved in, the care facility began eviction proceedings because the facility said that Bill and Daisy required more care than it could provide. Daisy passed away after the eviction case began. Bill has suffered several strokes, cannot communicate well and is now confined to his wheelchair.
Bill has to move out of the facility soon and his family is trying to find him alternative housing, but is short on fund. Because of his work as a Christian missionary, Bill does not have many assets and due to some poorly timed long-term planning, he is ineligible for some federal air that many others rely on in his situation. The family is working with the Veterans Administration to both provide him with funding and to find a place for him, but that is a long process. He needs additional money now to help him move into a new facility in the meantime. Although he has one elderly son who is local to the area, but Bill’s needs exceed what his son can provide. He needs professional care and he needs your help so he can get the care he needs. Please SHARE this on your social media and consider making a donation.
Donations of all sizes are needed and welcome.
God Bless.
More biographical facts about Bill and Daisy:
In the 1950s Bill and Daisy started a mission for the Ifugao people in the Phillipines, which lasted for 20 years. They were joined by a former army Doctor who established a medical clinic and another family who began the process of reducing the then unwritten tribal language to an alphabet and then writing primers to teach the Ifugao families to read and write in their own language.
In the 1970s Bill and Daisy began to provide help to foreign students who came to the US adjust to American life and they maintained that ministry until Bill had a stroke.
He continued to provide many former students and friends with practical, emotional and spiritual assistance from a bedside computer until eyesight and typing ability faded.
Not long ago he was given an award for serving 50 years as a chaplain for Civil Air Patrol.
Anything received that totals in excess of $30,000 will be donated to a church or charity.
