MINNEAPOLIS — A proud granddaughter of a Vietnam veteran is spending her time to raise awareness of veteran homelessness.
Emily Roth is the president of the Minnesota Children of the American Revolution and chose to help homeless veterans as her state project.
Her project “Home for Heroes” got amazing support across the state to help her realize her goal.
“Anything you may need to start someone on to a new life,” Roth said.
For the past nine months, Roth has spent countless hours raising money to provide move-in kits for veterans.
“These veterans are moving in with absolutely nothing,” Roth said.
These kits are another lifeline for veterans leaving homelessness and moving into their own place.
“It’s all your necessities things you may not think about, ” Roth said.
She had to choose a state project as part of her position as president of the Minnesota Children of the American Revolution.
“When I was choosing my state project I knew I wanted to help people my grandpa was a veteran and I knew I wanted to help homeless veterans,” Roth said.
