When a Florida sheriff’s deputy met an elderly man in downtown Sanford, he knew he had to do anything to help him. The 80-year-old veteran, with a Bible and a suitcase by his side, told the deputy he had been homeless for over two years and was sleeping on a park bench with only a blanket.
Just a day after the meeting, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Deputy Carl Tipton sought out the veteran with a piece of good news: He had found him a home to call his own.
