Original caption

I’ve known this man for years. He’s 78 years old and has lived on my road for as long as I can remember. He rented the same home for about 15 years, but after the owner passed away, he continued to pay the daughter rent & the the property was sold under his feet with hardly any warning on the courthouse steps, and he suddenly found himself with nowhere to go .. Now he’s living in the woods and abandoned homes doing everything he can to keep himself and his dog fed and sheltered , and not to mention it’s SO hot out .. I’m posting this in hopes that the right person sees & can help him get back on his feet . If enough people are interested in helping & got any ideas on how we can make something happen . I let him charge his phone/ head lamp on my porch & give him plates whenever I can . I have 2 kids of my own and can’t do much more . We’ve reached out to church’s and multiple places and no luck . Please keep the negativity away & share for me !! #homeless #foryou #elderly #viral #homelessness Please be kind. ❤️
