Greetings, Kossacks!

I just got off the phone with our TX veteran, Leo, after calling to check on the Moving Day progress. We didn't have as many volunteers on hand as we'd hoped for, but Leo said the heavy stuff is moved in and they're two trips from being done. Huzzah!

Follow me into the conversation pit for some well deserved kudos, if you will...

This is just a quick update for those who might be wondering how things are moving along for our vet in need, in Dallas, whose situation was brought to our attention by llbear.

[A quick note: I spoke to llbear this morning. He sounds good but his father is not out of the woods yet, so please keep them in your thoughts.]

(Folks, we need some recs to get this diary up on the Big Board. llbear and Leo need our help. Thanks!)

Greetings, Kossacks!

This is a quick update regarding the diary llbear wrote last night. I've had the privilege of speaking to llbear twice today, and if you've never had the opportunity to speak to llbear offline, all I can say is that you're missing out - he's a wonderful man with a great heart and a good head on his shoulders.

Note: For those who haven't heard, llbear's father is not doing as well as we'd hoped, so llbear will be generally offline for a day or two as he tends to his father's medical needs. Please send your positive vibes to his family and keep them in your thoughts.

I also had the honor of speaking to our veteran in need - I'm going to call him "Leo" in this diary - and I think I can say that he's a good man who's only looking for a helping hand to get his family through a tough time while he waits for some well-deserved benefits to kick in.

Follow me to the conversation pit for more info, if you will.

(by Ripley, with an assist from Patrick)

We here at the KINship Project asked you, dear Kossacks, what you needed.

And some of you, without knowing we'd asked (we're not the most visible people in Internetia), had already been posting your cries for help.

But a few recent diaries made us realize something:

People sometimes only ask for help once things have gotten that bad. Before they get that bad, they struggle along, looking for work, looking for something to help them sustain their lives.

But they don't always -- often, even -- talk about what they need until it's ... well, too late, maybe. Unfortunately.

That can be the reality. But it doesn't have to be.

Yesterday, Hail Ripley posted an update on The KINship Project, titled Minding our pleas and FAQs. I’d like to continue in his vein to give you further detail and some more specific requests for help. Won’t you join me, below the fold?
