This is Lily, and she's worried her human brother and sister won't have any Christmas presents or a tree to put them under. Do you know of any FREE holiday resources (i.e. Christmas presents, holiday meals, or trees for veterans)? If so, please email the info to me at [email protected]. I'd like compile a list for PEH, and I want to send it to Lily's dog mom. The homeless veteran is a young single mother living in a hotel with her two kids. Thanks in advance for any info you can share! Vets' Community Connections 211 San Diego
