I met Chuck, an 88-year-old U.S. Army veteran, who told me he hasn’t had a home in over 35 years.
Chuck lives with constant back and neck pain and sleeps outside, using a bag of clothes as a pillow. 6 months ago, someone stole his electric wheelchair, leaving him with a broken walker that makes getting around painful and unsafe.
When I gave him help, he broke down in tears and said,
“I haven’t cried like this in 40 years.”
For over 20 years, his closest companion has been Heidi, who is also homeless. They take care of each other every day, protecting one another, sharing what little they have, and surviving together.
100% of donations will go toward:
- A new electric wheelchair so Chuck can move comfortably and without pain
- Safe housing, starting with short-term placement and working toward long-term stability
- Food, clothing, and basic necessities
- Ongoing support for Chuck and his companion, Heidi
- Travel expenses
No veteran should spend their final years on the streets.
No one should be forgotten.
We will post updates along the way on Facebook, and a final update video when we reunite with Chuck to get him into housing and secure his electric wheelchair.
If you’re able to donate or share, thank you for helping restore dignity, safety, and hope to two people who have taken care of each other for decades. ❤️
