He had realized that he really enjoyed being around other veterans, and he knew that was a career field he was interested in. Eventually, he and a few friends had quit their jobs and started the veterans village.]]> 2018-12-05 18:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311522110 tburke1000 https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311526617 Toner, K.

Retrieved from https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/18/us/cnnheroes-chris-stout-veterans-community-project/index.html]]> 2018-12-05 18:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311526617 tburke1000 https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311968015 When i had first started researching what Chris was doing, a few questions had popped into my mind. 
Since it is a non-profit organization, how do they make their livings?
How many houses have they built?
How big are the houses?
Do they pay the veterans bills, such as food, water, electricity, etc?
How many people have they helped]]> 2018-12-06 18:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311968015 tburke1000 https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311969906 During my research I had realized plenty of ways this program has positively effected the veterans and the community. 
One of the ways they help all veterans is with another program of theirs, where they give out  free bus passes.
In less than a year, they gave out a million bus passes.
They currently have 13 houses, and are building thirteen more.
There have been a lot of volunteers from all sorts of communities.]]> 2018-12-06 18:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311969906 tburke1000 https://padlet.com/tburke1000/itag0bptjk9i/wish/311983053 The volunteers have helped build this foundation. Literally. They have helped do everything ranging from building the houses, to donating money or supplies.
