·         We Have a magic act, a jazz band, sandwich bar, the media, sports and elected figures and much, much more.  Please advise as to how many will be attending.  This is for all veterans, all who care and all friends of veterans…So far 6 other states have contacted me so this may become a national coalition.  Let’s hope so so that the two words, Homeless Veterans never go together again.

From my interview with Bill Muckler about this event:

To all patriots,

Please check out this newsletter introducing an event that Jan Friedman is conducting in Aurora, Colorado. There are endless ways that you can help homeless veterans, the least of which you can share this newsletter with you all you know.

Please contact Jan to lend your support, even if it is just to wish her success or to learn more about this event. Thank you

Topanga Women’s Circle Helping Homeless Veterans and Their Families into Transitional Housing

We work in Los Angeles to set up apartments for Veterans and families moving from homelessness into Transitional Housing.

When a family moves into these institutionally furnished apartments they generally have all their belonging in a garbage bag. But just before they move in TWC springs into action, transforming a bare-bones space into a home.

Please click on the donation link below and give whatever you can. Your donation will be doubled until we reach our goal.

Introducing SSVF for Veterans

On Friday, November 11, 2016, Operation Confidence a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization will host " A Tribute To Our Disabled Veterans" aboard the historical Queen Mary, in Long Beach, California, from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Red carpet 6:00/7:00 p.m.

On Friday, November 11, 2016, Operation Confidence a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization  will host " A Tribute To Our Disabled Veterans" aboard the historical Queen Mary, in Long Beach, California, from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Red carpet 6:00/7:00 p.m.  

The tribute will honor disabled veterans of the World War ll, Korean War, Vietnam, Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan era. We will also give a presentation about Operation Confidence's  proposed project  "The Turning Point Housing Program for Homeless Disabled Veterans" a 2-year transitional  accessible housing program. 

The purpose for the event is to not only honor our disabled veterans, but to raise  awareness about the urgent need to get our homeless disabled veterans off the streets of Los Angeles and  gain support to obtain a transitional living house for Operation Confidence Turning Point Housing Project For Homeless Disabled Veterans (TPHP).  The TPHP will provide special services to help this forgotten population regain a feeling of self worth and the necessary tools to make a positive transition/contribution back into society.  

Operation Confidence has assisted over 10,000 + individuals with disabilities with wraparound services to better their lives in mainstream society. During our over 30 year history we have also hosted job fairs and community outreach events throughout the city of Los Angeles by collaborating with a number of Fortune 500 corporations and small businesses to connect clients with career and employment opportunities. 

In 2008, while serving on the Los Angeles Union Rescue Mission Advisory Council we discovered a large community of disabled veterans living in their wheelchairs on the streets of Skid Row, in downtown Los Angeles. Several were  still wearing portions of their military uniform and displaying pieces left of the American flag. Shocked that we could not fine anything was being done, Operation Confidence made a commitment to expand its program in order to do its part to help this forgotten population. 

From 2009 to present, we hosted major resource and job fairs throughout the city of Los Angeles. One such event was held on the grounds of the LA Sports Arena  Click here: A TRIBUTE TO OUR WOUNDED VETERANS. - YouTube 

It was after that event that we found our work had just begun. The TPHP was needed first to provide assessable transitional housing and rehabilitation services before job preparation workshops and employment opportunities.

You Caring

DID YOU KNOW...

To date, there are still hundreds of thousands of veterans living on the streets in many cities across our great nation... Recently-returned soldiers now make-up a large percentage of the total homeless population...Washington's plan to end veterans homelessness has not effectively addressed the problem: Every American is being asked to help with this massive effort.

ONE CHARITY IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT......
ANSWERING THE CALL, ALL YEAR LONG. BUT WE DO NEED YOUR HELP.
CAN WE COUNT ON YOU?
(The first word learned in the English Language is NO. It's also the most often used.
Please say "YES"instead, TODAY. Even just a little from YOU could mean a lot to THEM.)

With caring comes change.
