 Reaching out to veterans or individuals in need is a unique committed experience.
To reach out with God's Love and the healing of deep silent cries from all walk of life. To hear the individual
stories of despair are unique from others living on the street. Every situation is unique with individual needs.
They are respected and treated with kindness as you would like to be treated if you needed assistance. Most are starved
for attention, food, clothing, counseling, God's Love, respect, shelter, helping with fundamental tasks such as budgeting and
looking for jobs to make ends meet seeking to self-sufficiency. To help individuals improve their relationship, to be more in control of their life, to be more in control of their
behavior, to have a more positive self-esteem and to physically, mentally, spiritually feel better. To teach the way to wholeness with transformed by renewing of the mind. (2 Cor
5:17). To teach interaction with others, medication as needed until such time for it to cease, to confront error
and distortion, to focus on potential for improvements of ones life through counseling and to deal with issues in ones
life where error and lack of knowledge exists and leads into problems. Emotional Needs of basic needs met by community, courage, forgiveness, hope, love, meaning and power to cope. The Need For Companionship and Fellowship in Life from
being rejected by self and others, loneliness, not able to establish social relationships or function in social relationships.
Group therapies for those who have had problems of addictions or specific mental problems. With encouragement to participate
to obtain sufficient community support within the group. The route to total despair of individuals are: - The loss of a buddy, a friend, family, job, home - Personal tragedies - Physical disability - Deserted by families and friends they once had The Need For Love is being fed, kept in clean clothing, talked to, shown affection by the love and caring of another human being or
animal such as a dog or cat. The Need for Meaning
"Who am I?" "What is my purpose in life?" "Where am I going?"
by goals and directions are healthful attitudes in life and the achievement of purpose or meaning in life has been proven
to be one of the best methods of promoting healthy self-esteem. Part of our "self-esteem" comes from having
a "work ethic." The Need For Hope in attending one-on-one counseling or group therapy, and that there is hope to overcome problems with a positive
expectation in the end results of counseling. The Need For Courage to overcome anxieties.
Individuals in need may periodically experience anxiety attacks, panic attacks, existential anxiety, neurotic anxiety, or
just plain fear. The community assistance of healthcare as needed, encouragements, and therapy. The Need For Forgiveness due to wrong doing, deprives a person of self-esteem and is the basis for many of the problems brought to the clinical
settings. Individuals forgiving themselves for something they have not done or openly confess their problem(s) allows
the door to open to eventual recovery.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for the jacket."
Every individual has a unique story of hardship, deep silent
pain, PTSD, bad choices who has a desire to get out of the cycle of living on the street. "We need a job to have
a place to live, to pay rent." "Give us a chance to prove ourselves." "I served eleven years
in the service and made a bad choice, I lost my wife and family." "I think my head is messed up, what do you
mean I have PTSD symptoms?" "The VA don't treat me with respect, I served 22 years and I got cancer."
"My dad retired in the Navy and is a pastor now, please don't tell him I'm on the street." "I
had a nice house, motorcycle, car and a great job making good money, the economy hit hard and the company went out of business.
I lived on my savings until it ran out and now I live on the street."
