GiveBIG to help 2x as many homeless people like Gus
Gus enlisted to fight in Vietnam. While in the army he started abusing drugs and alcohol at a dangerous level.
“My company commander came to me and said I couldn’t stay in the service anymore, and within a month, they sent me back home and things really went downhill fast.”
Gus spent his nights sleeping in abandoned cars and houses. Then he decided it was time for a big change.
“I got married and had two kids and I was doing great as a husband,” he says, “but then all of a sudden my wife decided she wanted to give up. She put our kids up for adoption, and then I lost everything except my life.”
