Mr. President and Mr. Director of the V.A.,
To stop you in your tracks. We don’t want Jonathan falling through the cracks.
Well, walking west on M Street to Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown, early evening, there was Jonathan sitting on a step with a sign. Well, I took a breath and turned around after taking a few steps past him. Sometimes the good Lord puts something on your heart that stops you in your tracks. A little tired is what I was feeling.
His sign said, “I’m an Iraq Combat Veteran.” Jonathan looked and talked nice, and what I could see in his eyes was way too much–much more than any HUMAN would want to see. I hope and pray that our people in the federal government will help very soon. Jonathan had a job as a financial advisor. I hope and pray that Jonathan can go back to work soon.
I want these words to help him. He had been out in the cold too long: 8 months. While he has been here, good people have been coming up to him and helping him with short term needs. A beautiful lady came up to me and asked me to help him,like this lady helped me. I believe the good Lord sent her. Thank God, you’re sending these ladies there with kind helping words to lift him up. It lets me know your angels are helping.
And I talked to a man of Jewish faith, because Jonathan is Jewish. The person told me that the synagogue that would help him is in Gerogetwon. This winter I would ask for help from any Jewish person for prayer and help for Jonathan.
Here is Jonathan’s email: [email protected].
Hoping for shalom, “Perfect Peace.”
