Support Jerome: Korean War Vet Needs a Home

Donation protected
**Urgent Appeal for Assistance: Supporting a Korean War Veteran and Retired Police Officer**

We are reaching out for any help that can be offered. Mr. Jerome, a 90-year-old retired Korean War veteran and former Philadelphia police officer, has recently been forced to move into his car due to a significant rent increase. For the past four months, he has been living in his vehicle, enduring extreme heat, and has refrained from asking for help—until now.

Despite the challenges, Mr. Jerome has shown remarkable resilience and independence. He is witty, funny, intelligent, and still actively seeks work to support himself. In our view, Mr. Jerome has more than paid his dues. Although he receives some support from his pension, it is insufficient to cover the rising costs of living in today's economy.

We are committed to helping Mr. Jerome secure assisted living arrangements where he can maintain his independence while receiving the care and oversight he needs. If you are able to contribute, your donation would go a long way in ensuring he has a safe and stable living environment.

Thank you for your consideration and willingness to help.
