Support Dad's Recovery: A Hero in Need

Donation protected
Hello everyone. I'm setting up this account for my dad. My dad is an amazing person on so many levels. Let me share with you a small look into what so many have seen first hand. He is an Army Veteran who does not qualify for VA assistance.
who has taken on working with homeless individuals with the help of his church's outreach program that helps to get them free hot showers every other week. Also, he has made this program so much more than just hot showers. He has it set for people to get clean clothes, hair cuts, pet care, food, and social workers on site to help those who are ready to get the help they need with addiction. Also, there are medical volunteers to give aid when needed. He has put his heart and soul, as well as his own funds, into this program. In addition, he has given his time for many magical moments as Santa Claus. He spends time during the Christmas season posing for photos and bringing joy to children and adults as he listens to their lists. On Christmas Eve, he delivers toys that he paid for to child in hospital and visits the hospital staff that could not be home for the holiday. On a few occasions during the year, he has granted the wishes of the parents of terminately ill children who did not make it to Christmas to have one last special family holiday. During the school year, he volunteers as a crossing guard at his grandchildrens' school each morning because he knows he can help out an under-staffed school and keep kids safe. He truly is a person who will see a need and fill the need without even being asked to. He is always the person who gives a helping hand to anyone and everyone he meets. Unfortunately, he recently has fallen into health troubles. He needs help paying for the treatments needed to help him get back on his feet so he can once again help those in need. Anything you can give would be appreciated and a wonderful way to help a helping hand in return. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your donations.
