WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL!!! We have delivered Alex's new home to his new park. He has begun packing and tomorrow Antonietta is going to pack his stuff into her SVU and deliver it to his new place.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible. It was your generosity and caring that made this happen.

We have had the great fortune to have Palm Beach RV donate $24,000.00 toward a $37,000.00 for a 40' 5 Wheel RV and they will deliver it to him. I told the manager to put it aside because I will be riding in it when we go deliver it to the Navy Veteran.
Please, let's all show Mr. Jenkins how grateful we are for his service to our country. Let's show him how proud we are to express a little gratitude and not take for granted that the freedoms, the liberties we enjoy today are thanks to veterans like him and also among the ones who never made it back home.
Thank you all!

I am also President of Genesis Neighborhood Association and a Community Activist. The funds donated here will go towards the purchase a 40’ 5 Wheel RV list price is $37,000.
