Blast San Diego! As a native San Diegian of 43 years old I will write in this blog about San Diego non profit services that are supposed to provide services to the underprivileged. This blog will outline my experiences during my quest for social services within San Diego- Food Stamps, CIU, Neighbor to Neighbor, Interfaith, YMCA, VA and many others. Stay tuned and feel free to drop you two cents about your experiences

IRS and VA in Cahoots??? Shoot me Now!
A sad thing has happened to this dear ole veteran...In 2010, My kids and I spent 3 months homeless trying to utilize the VA programs prior to becoming homeless, and there again after. I was comfotered at the fact that I had medical care, since I entered thier system just 1 1/2 years after my cancer diagnosis. we had no real income all year 2011 , I couldn't possibly owe income tax. Apparently while I was being provided care from VA I was racking up a bill. They intercepted my income tax refund of 411 dollars of that I owed 333 Dollars to VA. IS this normal for all of us veterans. I was jobless, broke ill, homeless with two kids.
I should have sued my former employer wen I had the "right to sue " letter in my hand, but noooo, I took the route with integrity and held my head high, and moved on..... ... I wonder whats to happen to our veterans? who advocates for us? When will the VA recognize females as homeless and provide services to us and our children , the sufferers of our demise. As per the National Coalition the Number of Homeless Veterans & Veteran-Specific Beds by Region in California has 739 transitional beds available and 12,771 homeless veterans. Anyone see a problem? Even worse this department isn;t recognizing female veterans and thier children. How many of these 12,771 are females? How many are dual vet families? I think we the people , should get some answers.!
Veteran and his spouse with cancer needs shelter and medical care!
I keep seeing this couple on the side of the road with a sign. asking for help, so I stopped. I am veteran who has had cancer and I was homeless just after while recovering , I have two children, but I survived. This couple, is a young veteran and his wife. They are homeless, she has Ovarian cancer which she claims , it has spread into her upper abdominal cavity. They are homeless and begg for change 1/2 a block from a VA Medical Facility. VA service are too slow, he is waiting for a disability approval and VASH, but resources are too slow. I do not have room here to help nor the resources but I thought If I could reach out , someone could help them. Can you help provide shelter and treatment to these people if I bring them to you?
