We alert you today to a 67-year-old homeless man who needs help. He has worked in landscaping his entire life. Last year, he sustained a severe ankle injury which resulted in an ankle fusion surgery. He needed extensive physical therapy to regain full function of his ankle. During the season of therapy, he could not perform his normal job duties. The reduced hours eventually cost him his apartment.

He has been able to drive for the crew again, but his income is significantly reduced. He is currently living in an abandoned house with no utilities. I have worked with him for several weeks, coaching him to find suitable housing on his reduced budget. He has qualified for a rental that is $600 per month, and he will be able to cover that cost on his new budget. However, he does not have resources to pay the $1,200 security deposit that allows him to move in. We want to help secure this housing opportunity for him.
