LET ME LOVE YOU!!!



Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
The lyrics above come from a Justin Beiber song, titled “Let Me Love You”.  During this season of Joy and love this is exactly what I’m asking you to let me and others do.  So many are going through such turmoil and they don’t know where their next meal is going to come from, let alone where they are going to lay their heads.
As I read some of the posts in a couple of the Facebook Veterans groups that I belong to I cry inside every time I read those that seem to come from a place of hopelessness.  During this season of giving I want to do as much as I can to ensure that my blog posts help those who are most in need.  So this week I am looking to share different local resources for veterans who find themselves without. 
Because I live in the Atlanta area I will share those first.  If any of you know of an organization in your area that is doing great things to help vets please let me know and I will reach out to them.  I am actually calling and doing interviews with the Directors of these organizations to see exactly what it is they are doing and how it can be of benefit to you.
The first organization I would like to share information with you about is the Atlanta Center for Self-Sufficiency.  Their contact information is:
           
100 Edgewood Avenue
Suite 700
Atlanta, GA 30303
404.874.8001

They offer workforce development through partnerships with employers and colleges, if you require additional training services.  They also offer emergency housing and assistance with eventually purchasing your own home.   There are a lot more services that are available.  I advise you to visit their website.

As a disclaimer, just as the lyrics say “let me love you”, you have to take advantage of the services that are offered.  I cannot make you do anything.  All I can do is provide the information. So today, “Let Someone Love You”.

As always, thank you for your support.


TTYL – Be blessed.
