Harry Wilks hasn't added a story.
An Arkansas non-profit dedicated to helping Arkansas' homeless veterans and others transition to a better life--with dignity.
There are many reasons to become homeless--abuse, fire, or maybe just returning to a society that has no need for someone that can drive a tank through it. And there are many programs and organizations that will help the homeless to return to society---even assisting with such things as rent, utilities, food and job assistance.
But there are few that provide the simple, basic necessities that make a house even begin to be a home. The things that say to one's mind that the horrible life of homelessness and abject poverty are over adn that "YOU HAVE COME HOME".
A bed to lay a weary head on. A place to sit and eat a simple meal. The things that are taken for granted by so many, and basic to simple dignity. That is where we come in. We endeavor to provide these brave souls and whole families that are trying to do the right thing and return to society, return to what most of us consider a "normal" life, by providing just a very few simple things:
BEDROOM
A bed to sleep on. (full or queen)
A 2-drawer nightstand and preferably a dresser or chest-of-dawers. (someplace to at least keep underwear and socks.)
A small lamp
A set of sheets and a blanket.
A pillow.
LIVING ROOM
A couch with either a loveseat or chair. (a place to sit and a place for company to sit as well.)
A coffee table and at least one end table.
A T.V. or at least a radio, when we can. (sometimes a T.V. stand.)
DINING/KITCHEN
A small table and 2 chairs. (to sit and eat that simple meal, perhaps with a friend.)
A small set of pots and pans. (a microwave when we can.)
At least a 2-place setting of plates and silverware. A couple of glasses.
That is it in a nutshell. That is what we try to do. Sometimes we can do more. Many times we cannot do even this much.
Will YOU please help in some way? We need your gently used furniture and housewares. And of course, we can always use the occasional volunteer to move stuff or other things, as well as money to pay for things that are not currently donated or available, also for specialty items occasionally needed, like baby cribs and of course gas and storage.
