Heartwarming Update: Wendell and His New RV

In this heartfelt update video, we want to express our immense gratitude to everyone who donated to help Wendell, an 80-year-old homeless man. Thanks to your incredible generosity, Wendell not only has a new RV to call home, but he also bought an RV for his 65-year-old friend Caroline, who was living in a tent.

Wendell shares his profound appreciation: "I couldn't have a better home. It's a lot more than what I expected. It's just unbelievable. And I'm so happy with it. I love this thing." He also expresses his gratitude towards the donors: "I just have no way of expressing my gratitude for what people have done. I had no idea there were still that many really nice people out there. And now I understand. I'm paying attention to the news and I'm forgetting about it. In America, there are still millions of wonderful people out there, and you people that helped me are part of that group."

This video is not just about Wendell's new home; it's about the growing elderly homelessness crisis in the United States. While it’s amazing that we were able to help Wendell, we must work together to prevent and solve this issue. The reality is that providing RVs is not a sustainable solution. We need to advocate for our lawmakers to prevent homelessness with eviction prevention measures and get elderly homeless people off the streets into real housing with the support services they need.

The elderly homeless population is growing rapidly and threatens to overwhelm our social services. Without proper intervention, many seniors will continue to suffer on the streets. We must push for policies that offer long-term solutions, such as affordable housing and comprehensive support services.

Wendell's story also showcases his generosity. He shared his blessings by helping Caroline, who supported him when he was sick. "Caroline is 65 years old, and she has serious arthritis. She had helped me so much when I was sick, doing laundry and cooking and getting food, taking care of my cat. So I simply could not comprehend living love, saying this and believing her here in the tent. So we found her this nice motorhome with 23,000 miles and everything works."

Thank you for being part of this miracle. Let’s continue to spread kindness and support those in need.

Join us in advocating for long-term solutions to the elderly homelessness crisis. Please like, comment, and share this video to raise awareness and call for action from our lawmakers. Together, we can create more stories like Wendell's and ensure that our elderly population receives the care and support they deserve.

This is my first time seeing Wendell however I am very happy to see he’s faring well. It’s such a shameful testament to this country that we allow our seniors to languish into homelessness. Congratulations to you good sir. And the fact that in his circumstances he still had exhibited selflessness and shared his resources says a lot about his character. Wendell is a friend in my head. Much love and respect to him.

Wendell did amazing with the money he received!
This guy also helped his neighbor a woman.
Excellent human being!

Maybe this is a way to stop homelessness. In our town one man singlehanded has found more than 100 families a home. Anyone who has a good motorhome or trailer gives it to this man and he finds mostly families with kids, he fixes these shelters and other people donate a place to put the trailer. So many families helped as rents in Ca are way to high even when employed.
