yes really, what happens in a couple weeks when all you feel sorry do gooders are not making donations and trying to help. he and his family are right back in the same situation sleeping in a tent and trying to find food for all 4 people 3x's a day. let these kids go somewhere they can get guaranteed food everyday, clean clothes, and a chance to be a kid. this vet deserves better than what he is getting, let him get him self back on his feet first.
this may help in there favor, it is 2 less mouths to feed until they get back on their feet. granted it is no way to treat any veteran, but this will help these kids stay healthy and give the parents a chance to regroup.
