Amen. Amen.

Prayers lifted up for your brother, you and your wife.

Is Bill a Veteran? If so you can help him get assistant. Let me know I can help get numbers. I’m sure their are more experienced Vets than me who can provide more precise contact information.

Here’s the link for the VA homeless veteran hotline. As one FReeper noted a companion call to a local Congressmen should also be made:

http://www.va.gov/homeless/nationalcallcenter.asp

Homeless Veteran in need of help?
Call 1-877-4AID VET (1-877-424-3838)

If your brother is not registered with a VA hospital he will most likely need his DD form 214. If he gets VA pushback then recommend getting a VA advocacy group involved.

The two best IMO are the American Legion and VFW.

If you are Catholic, then the Knights of Columbus help getting veterans pointed in the right direction. At least that is what my dad used to do before he passed away. Back then most KoC were war Vets from WWII, Korea and Vietnam.

Hope this helps. I understand how difficult it can be for an independent family member or friend to reach out and ask for help. Sometimes we have to lead them to help. Your brother needs to be reaffirmed getting help from the VA and veteran’s groups is not a “hand out.” He served and our nation owes him our gratitude.

Prayers for Bill and family.

[mlizzy]

I am so sorry. God bless you and your beautiful family.

St. Jude, on this your feast day, please help out Bill. Mary, please ask your Son for a complete healing. St. Dymphna, could you please help out too? Thank you.

Do you know anybody that has any space for his storage?

An outbuilding, anything?

Prayers for you, your brother Bill and all of our homeless, especially our veterans, are on the way.

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest your weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones. Shield your joyous ones. And for all your love’s sake.

Amen.

Saint Augustine’s Prayer for the Sick

Thanks everyone for your kind advice and prayers.

I just spoke with Bill and he said his storage locker went up for auction this morning but he is in an efficiency apartment now. He has been getting follow-up treatments at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center downtown Chicago and getting help through them. He seems to be in relatively good spirits and expects to see his Doctor (What am I saying? They never get their own Doctors it’s the luck of draw every time)tomorrow.

Thanks again for your continued prayers and advise it is an immense comfort to have so many FRiends.
