Let's Help a Skilled Carpenter Find a Safe Home For Him And His Dog

From Building Homes for Others to Protecting My Dog in the Shadows

I spent years as a union carpenter my hands built homes for families I never even met. Now, for the last eleven years, I've been living under a bridge in Reno.

I chose this spot under the overpass for one reason, my dog. He's got a short coat, and the Nevada sun is brutal. If I can't give him a roof, I can at least give him shade. He's stuck by me through everything, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep him safe.

I'm not looking for a handout I just need a hand up. A chance to get back on my feet, find a place where we can both sleep without worrying about what comes next.

I still have the same hands that built those homes. I just need the foundation to start rebuilding my own.

Your donation gives Dan and his best friend a real shot at housing, stability, and safety. Every dollar brings them one step closer to coming in from the shadows. Please give today.
