To Whom It May Concern
Not only would I
like to, but it is also my duty, to testify concerning
the many and various ways The Sanctuary Project, and
especially Ms. Kippie Tomkin, has helped me.
Helped me
physically, mentally and spiritually and with all
facets of red tape. This understanding of my situation
as a disabled and homeless veteran, to put it bluntly,
has allowed me to remain living.
No praise would
suffice; no thanks would be enough for the caring and
work The Sanctuary Project does for veterans.

Veteran.
It's so long ago
and far away,
There's only
pain now.
I have no
morals, no scruples, no values, no pride.
No
comprehension.
And no one can
understand.

Veteran.

20 July 2010 To Whom It
May Concern
America,
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. A land where hopes
and dreams are just an arm's reach away. Yet we tend to
get our priorities mixed up. We love, look up to and
adore actors, musicians, and sports celebrities, yet we
abhor the ones we owe our very way of life to, the
veterans. I am talking about the way our soldiers are
treated, and as a veteran of OIF I have seen first hand
the way our soldiers are treated after experiencing the
ugliness of the world at war.
I
was and still am prepared to give my life to uphold and
protect my country, people and the rights of the
American public and it sickens me to know that we are
treated so badly. Please do not misunderstand - I am not
looking for personal recognition - I am looking for
assistance for all of my brothers in arms. They need to
know that someone is out there to help and to care about
and understand our situation. I have found that help.
I
came home from deployment and had nowhere to rest my
head; no car to drive and no money, as what I had made
overseas had been squandered and spent by people at home
I foolishly trusted. When I realized this, I tried using
my chain of command to find a place to stay. I called my
NCO, my first sergeant and my commander. I made hundreds
of phone calls to every number I had been given by my
chain of command and not once did anyone answer. So I
called my squad leader and got a number for family
readiness.
At
last I was referred to The Sanctuary Project.
Within six hours I had a place to stay, food to eat, and
most importantly, people who truly cared about my well
being.
Am
I just a statistic? Does everything I and many others do
mean so little? America, I ask you to please, please
help save the ones who give everything to protect your
rights, beliefs and very freedom. Help The Sanctuary
Project with your donation so they can continue to save
veterans like myself and their families.
Thank
you for hearing the voice of one of the overlooked and
forgotten.

Sept. 2009 To
whom it may concern,
I am the wife of a combat veteran. He fought in
both Bosnia and Iraq. After being shot while being ejected
from his HumVee which was overturned by an I.E.D., he was
pulled off the battlefield. He then had a heart attack due
to an undiagnosed heart condition triggered by a
trauma. After being in a coma
for 3 months and spending a year in rehabilitation he came
to NC so he could settle down and raise our family. Due to
his disabilities work was no longer possible for him.
After a long struggle with the VA, my husband was
finally granted medical retirement, and began collecting
his pension. Unfortunately it still was not enough to pay
the bills. Just as we were about to lose hope we met
Kippie and found out about The Sanctuary Project.
She immediately started providing us with food
and contacts who could give us the assistance we
needed. We've been given affordable housing, our
girls are happy and there is plenty of food in our
refrigerator. I have also gone back to work.
If not for The Sanctuary Project, I don't know
what would have happened to my family. Please help this
project to continue to help veterans and their families
the way they have helped mine.
Thank You from my heart, R. McK, the wife of a
veteran

As if we did not already know – war is the most
dreadful insanity man can produce, usually instigated by
greed and selfishness in one form or another. There is
never any rational excuse and the effects are terrible
and long lasting.
