Help Mr. Lee get off the streets

Donation protected
Unfortunately God has other plans for Mr. Lee and that home wasn't it. He was asked to leave so we're back at square one with him in the hotel. Please pray for Mr. Lee. We know right now is a time to pray hard, keep faith, and trust in God. 

A few days ago God told me to help this local homeless man by my job named Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee 1is both physically and mentally disabled. He comes from an abusive background and has chosen the streets for decades. With help from others we've been able to put him in a hotel for 2 nights. Please pray God guides me on what to do to keep helping this man. In Jesus name

Update: Praise God! We've been able to put Mr. Lee in a hotel for 2 nights and now in a boarding home for high functioning special needs adults like him (Mr. Lee is 68, mildly cognitive impaired and mentally ill, he's lived on the streets of River Rouge MI for decades after losing his family in a horrible house fire where he was the one of the survivors). So far Mr. Lee likes it and is adjusting well. Now we just need to ban together and pray that God will open doors for Mr. Lee to have things he needs such as clothing and hygiene supplies. Please God let us be able to continue to help Mr. Lee. Please let us be able to help this man get his identification and benefits back. Thank you for Your Grace and getting this man off the streets. 

Update 2: Just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support. Y'all have truly been a Godsend. Today will be a day of rest for Mr. Lee as he enjoys his day at his home. Though we have made tremendous progress in getting this man off the streets, we still have a lot to conquer if we're going to make sure he successfully stays that way. I did my best making an Amazon wishlist that will ship items directly to Mr. Lee at his new home. So far someone has purchased shoes and socks so those are no longer needed thank you. It would be nice to provide him with some new clothing although he appreciates the used stuff as well. God willing, we will continue to gain support for Mr. Lee.
We are currently looking for the following:

Men's xl hoodies
Men's l joggers
Men's l sweats
Men's xl/XXL tshirts 
Men's 33*33 jeans
Belt
Men's L boxer briefs

Help 4 Mr. Lee - Homeless in River Rouge

Original post 
Hi my name is Nikki Irons and I'm fundraising to get Mr. Lee of the streets of River Rouge, Michigan. Mr. Lee's story breaks my heart. He is such a sweet, kind humble soul that doesn't deserve to be in the position he's in. Mr. Lee is an older gentleman that sleeps at a bus shelter down the street from my job. He has been homeless for years. He is disabled physically, has cleft lip and mild cognitive and mental deficits. He used to get disability checks but his family would steal his money for drugs (he has to have a payee) and not treat him right so he'd rather be on the streets. He's been homeless on the streets of Rouge for years. His dream is to have a go fund me so he can get a PO box so he can get his disability checks back on and get his own room somewhere (likely in a group home/assisted living arrangement). I believe that with the help of others, we can make this dream possible for Mr. Lee and provide him with the things he needs to survive the streets in the meantime. He doesn't get any state or government assistance due to not having an id or address so that is at the top of the list to assist him with. He also needs things while he's living on the streets that would make his life more comfortable. Please if you can find it in your heart please help me get Mr. Lee off the streets.
