To see Christ in everyone both weak and strong, to understand their pain and yet still hear God’s song, I asked thee Lord to rise up those in strife, allow me to give a hand and improve their life, help me to guide them, to assist those in need, and in helping each other, your blessing plants a seed.

Program purpose Meet single, short-term needs on an emergency
basis, such as Unplanned car repairs Utility bills A single rent or mortgage payment
Program does not address long-term financial issues
Based on demonstrated financial need

Small, specific cash gifts Emergency basis Short term need – a single rent or mortgage
payment, household utility bill, prescriptions, emergency food and similar expenses
Need arises from sudden and unexpected loss of income
The loss must have occurred within 60 days of the application
Must be used for basic living expenses, not the cable bill

Short Term Breathing RoomShort Term Breathing Room
Families’ emergency funds can be exhausted quickly The car dies, but it is
necessary to get to work
A missed rent payment can result in homelessness
Paying an unexpected expense leaves no money for food or electricity
This program addresses smaller problems for the purpose of heading off or avoiding large ones

Internal staff members Review applications Direct veterans to any other, longer term benefits
programs Categorize requests to establish future budgets
TCB Caring Hands will approve requests spanning a wide range of needs Establish a beginning budget Implement and execute long range fundraising
activities
![Page 15: Veterans’ Financial Assistance. To see Christ in everyone both weak and strong, to understand their pain and yet still hear God’s song, I asked thee Lord.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e175503460f94b022f8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Next states: California and Texas California has more than 2 million veterans Florida has more than 1.6 million veterans Texas has more than 1.6 million veterans
Will not be able to serve veterans in states other than Florida, Texas and California without changing initial veteran residence requirement
Likely should follow expansion of TCB Caring Hands’ Homes program
![Page 16: Veterans’ Financial Assistance. To see Christ in everyone both weak and strong, to understand their pain and yet still hear God’s song, I asked thee Lord.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e175503460f94b022f8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Particularly in the current economy, temporary funding shortfalls can lead to job loss, health issues, even homelessness
The point is to keep relatively small short-term problems from snowballing into much larger, long-term problems that are far more costly to rectify and more stressful to deal with
