Johnny

Johnny had the mobile home he was living in impounded. But thanks to all of you we raised the $345 needed to get his ‘home’ back

I met Johnny in Nashville. While interviewing for InvisiblePeople.tv Johnny he told me about his mobile home being towed. The story is rather insane and you can read it here on change.org.

Johnny started to tell me he raised $280 to get his ‘home’ out of impound, but because each day a $30 charge was being added to the total he was concerned he was going to lose it. Since the impound Johnny, who is in a wheelchair, as been sleeping outside.

I asked him how much more he needed. He told me around $350. Well, thanks to all of the great people that donated we raised $345. Today, on my way out of town, I stopped by and wrote out a check to the veterans services organization that is helping Johnny and holding the other funds.
