Help A Tallulah Falls Veteran Rebuild His Home

CAN YOU HELP US, HELP ONE OF OUR LOCAL VETERANS?????

This veteran is in desperate need of help. He is facing eviction from his home due to certain conditions. With some blood, sweat and tears…. TOGETHER, we can possibly prevent him from being homeless! He has nowhere else to go. This is a senior citizen, who served our country and fought for every one of us to enjoy the freedoms we are now afforded. It’s time to now fight for and help him in his hours/ days of need.

After proudly serving our country for nearly 18 years (8 of which were abroad on assignments/orders) he retired to the mountains of North Georgia. After being in the military, he retired from the prison system as a correctional officer. 

Over the years, due to some circumstances beyond his control, he has now found himself in a desperate situation. Basically, his house is falling in around him. He loves his home and his desire is to stay there but.... he is not able to make the repairs needed.

After; being made aware of the situation, Tallulah Falls Chief Of Police, Tonya Elrod found herself wanting to help. After many visits, conversations and much listening, she not only gained a new friend, she also gained his trust. Having gained such, he has allowed her "in" not only his home but, his life as well.

After evaluating the situation, Chief Elrod started the ball rolling in helping the disabled, retired veteran! She reached out to many of her associates and personal contacts and hence, the project is now well underway with many helping in many ways.

With the house and property being in the state it is in, we are forced with having to take down trees, remove rubbish and basically rebuild the entire house inside and out. We will need all materials to do such including but not limited to lumber, roofing, wiring, plumbing. sheetrock, appliances....EVERYTHING you would need to build a brand new home. It is a small home and we are hoping to be able to rebuild using as much repurposed/recycled items as possible.

We asked the residents/businesses of N. GA for donations of clean up supplies, food and beverage donations for the working crews etc. The outpouring and donations have been amazing thus far. Currently we are well stocked to continue the mission.

We are now seeking cash donations to purchase building supplies, permits etc. to get this home rebuilt ASAP.

Please find it in your heart to donate to this amazing project just as this veteran found it in his heart to serve our country and every last one of us!

ALL DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED, NO DONATION IS TO SMALL!

Thank you and God bless you and the USA!
