when I came to the vlp, I just lost my job a d have two kids to raise, as a single father I fear that we would lose the apartment and be on the streets. Karen Payne and Mik Bodis help me wit h housing and fi ding employment. They have been a great source of help to me a d many veterans. Providing assistqnce and resources to avoid ma y of us to fall rougb the cracks. I don't know where I and my boys be without them. I support the veterans leadership program and highly recommend i as a source for veterans like me that have fallen interesting hard times. Edwin J. Sostre
