Donate to Help A Homeless Veteran to Help Others, organized by Robert J McConnell

As an ordained minister and missionary, along with my regular church duties, I had also been doing ministry at my family home for many years. It was the catalyst for many home groups in the area as well as raise-up other individuals to start their own ministries and encourage other Pastors and ministry leaders to do more in the way of outreach and service in their own communities which is always needed. Now at the age of 70, I find myself in relatively good health, but with the on-set of blindness as of 2014 due to a hereditary eye disease, which meant I also had to learn to walk outdoors with a Red/White sweeping cane to navigate obstacles, as well, deal with a disintegrating spine, called Disk Degenerative Disease. Then in 2020, I lost my Mom to brain cancer. The next year I lost my cherished cousin and two of my cherished ministry assistants due to Covid19. I was devistated ! The donations just stopped coming in during that two year period of the Covid pandemic and it became extremely difficult to cover basic ministry expenses. I became mentally and physically challenged as well as severely depressed. With the loss of donations to keep the ministry going, the inability to obtain legal help because the house had gone into probate and other much needed help due to the high cost and inavailability of these services, I lost our family home. Lawyers wanted $8,000 to $10,000 just for a retainer to help me with probate and the sale of our family home, which of course I did not have. So, I am now currently homeless and as I discovered, the lack of resources to help us homeless Veterans is staggering despite the efforts, here in California, federal agencies and other organizations, supposedly, to get us off the streets and into suitable housing. Waiting lists are long and social workers ALL told me it can take YEARS. As I discovered, the current system for dealing with this terrible disaster is BROKEN and OVERWHELMED. Any help you need often takes weeks and months only after completing a mountain of paperwork not even knowing if you will qualify or be approved for help. MANY of these organizations never even answered the phone or returned any of my messages for help ! I do receive social security, but it is just not enough to complete the 1st step in my plan to secure an apartment or small house, which would also serve as ministry headquarters in the future, just as it had been prior to the catastrophic events in my life during the Covid pandemic. I have given most of my adult life to ministry and have helped so many others in the past, often times, utilizing my own money, but I never thought I would EVER be homeless, but it was just too much for me to deal with after loosing so many key people in my life and loosing what family I had left, leaving me to deal with so much on my own. If you can understand my heart for service to others, please join me to help me to complete the first step in getting me off the street and into a suitable place to live and hopefully once again helplng others, perhaps in the area of homelessness and actually help to End Homelessness in America. I think American citizens deserve better, especially our Veterans who have already given so much to our country. People deserve better !! ……......….. Thank You and God Bless Read more
