Bill: Living in the woods
Bill lived alone in the forests of St. Paul for nearly 10 years. To survive, he slept in a shack and stole food from grocery stores. Bill eventually tired of this difficult lifestyle and came to The Salvation Army for help. The Salvation Army discovered that Bill was eligible for social security and veteran benefits and helped him fill out the appropriate paperwork. They also helped him secure his very own home and furniture. No more living in the woods for Bill — he’s reconnected with his family and works as a handyman.
