Tiny Homes

A noisy July 4th must be dreadful for military personnel suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

I called Veterans Community Project asking if they would like me to volunteer July 4th. I could simply sit with a military veteran in their tiny home, or in the office, if they became anxious due to fireworks. The caseworker with whom I spoke, a combat veteran, was grateful, saying they never had anyone offer. 

They do not need me because their caseworkers are knowledgeable and prepared, which is what I expected. It was good to ask.

Then I thought about animal shelters. Holding a trembling dog or cat on a clamorous Independence Day makes sense.

Wrongfully Convicted




















After 42 years in prison, Juneal Pratt was released in 2017 thanks to Midwest Innocence Project.


From the day of his arrest, Mr. Pratt consistently maintained his innocence. 

Although eligible for parole since 2001, it was denied, in part, because he was unwilling to admit to committing the crime.
