A local retired furniture salesman with some leftover new furniture found a home for some of it. After loosing everything being unable to work in the cold harsh northern environment the Army veteran and his wife relocated to Citrus County Florida. Having spent all of their money on motel rooms they found shelter at a local mission. The mission helped them get housing through the VA Supportive Housing initiative, run in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The problem, they had no furniture for their apartment and no money to buy it with. Through the local Disable American Veterans they were hooked up with retired furniture salesman who is also an Air Force veteran. He and his wife donated a new bedroom set to the couple for their new apartment.
