Field after a yearlong stay at the VA Hospital and that they needed
everything," Yaquinto
said. "His rehab time was complete and he was ready to re-enter
the community."
Yaquinto got
the order approval to purchase three rooms of furniture.
"A local government employee donated half
the cost of the furniture back to MOPH and I can't thank her enough
for her generosity," Yaquinto said. "The furniture was
delivered and placed in the apartment by the veteran himself, his
friends, VA volunteers, and me. He and his wife were so grateful."
Yaquinto
said another veteran is being released from the hospital into an
unfurnished apartment, so he is "asking the community, including
furniture dealers, to please help him by donating usable furniture."
"If
unable to donate furniture, consider providing me with a discounted
price or a tax-deductible monetary donation to the MOPH," Yaquinto
said. "These veterans have given so much for our country that
I hope the public will come through for them."
