Gary Halcomb

Mr. Halcomb was here last week for gas trying to get to Ohio, but now he is still in town.  He says he needs money to pay his insurance.  We gave him a gas card last week and can help him with food, but can anyone else help him get on his way?  He is living in his van.

DAVID F. PETERS

His wife left a message, asking for a hotel room on a Sunday night.  Monday she called from Terre Haute saying they had been given the name of a shelter there, but the shelter had bed bugs and they would not stay there with 2 young boys.  David came to us for a gas voucher.  He is waiting on disability payment.  We gave them a bag of groceries and $15 gas voucher.
