Beyond The Battlefield: Lack Of Long-Term Care Can Lead To Tragic Ends For Wounded Veterans

Beyond The Battlefield: Lack Of Long-Term Care Can Lead To Tragic Ends For Wounded Veterans  THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY!

Our support system is down the drain.  We give out money and food and apartments but there is no support system in our way of doing things, of helping the people who need help.  I hope someone agrees with me that we need to change not only the help for wounded vets, but welfare.  Once again, read,  "A Boy Called It", by David Pelzer, I cried for days that this child could be so unloved , so wounded.  Yet against all odds he survived to become a man , an author, a husband.

We owe it to ourselves to come up with a kinder gentler way of distributing  our gifts, so they truly are gifts to the less fortunate, gifts of love , nurturning and caring.

Some people are better off living in suportive housing, like this wounded vet, who might be alive today if we had such a thing as supportive housing.  Children in the welfare system have to come first, and they are not coming first.   Families in trouble need to move into supportive housing first to stablize the family.  Supportive housing can easily be afforded and will help the people that really need help.  Newly single mothers with children need supportive housing. Drug addicts and alcoholics need supportive housing, so do elderly people, who can not clean and cook for themselves etc.  There is a big need , and at the same time we can clean up old areas of the cities that need to be improved. 

What hurts more, to lose your wallet, your job, your business, or to lose a loved one.  Love is what counts and we give in a system that requires no love on our part.  Giving has to become a labor or love for the needy, not a check, food stamps and a place to live, hope you will get on board with me and try to get the message out.

Want to create jobs, take run down factories, and change them into supportive housing facilities, where there are all kinds of support systems for single mothers, wounded vets, the aged, etc. with on site doctor, dentist, childcare, cafeteria, after school care etc..everyone that is able boided contributes to the "village" that we create for supportive housing.  It would be too much to continue here, but you get the gist of it.  We owe loving care.

The government skews the housing market in the way it sets up housing systems for the poor, there is a better and more sensible way.  The goverment, makes it impossible to change the decaying cities, because of it's interference in the market ..  So, hopefully, someone will listen, contribute and pass along a new way to create help with love and nurturing.
