My name is Willie Franklin. I am the founder of Tennessee Craft Vendors Food Trucks and Entertainment. I am also the founder and CEO of The Lost Vets Rescue a 501 (C)3 registered charity where we go out and seek to find homeless Veterans and assist them with re-entry into civilian life. We help with counseling, addiction, medication, transportation and housing.

This page is designed to raise funds for our new Veterans farm where Veterans can come spend time with rescued farm animals, do chores, grow vegetables and enjoy farm life in order to relieve the stresses of past trauma and life choices. It is my passion to help Veterans and homeless Veterans adapt to life in the non-military world. We have already leased a small farm in Englewood TN and begun searching for the right animals to place there. The name of the farm is Restoration Acres! Your contribution will have a huge impact on these Veterans lives. Please consider a small monthly contribution today.

At Restoration Acres, we believe in second chances—for our nation's veterans and for rescued farm animals. Through the healing power of nature, hands-on farming, and the unconditional bond with animals, we offer a sanctuary where strength is rebuilt, hope is restored, and freedom is truly lived again. Together, we heal, grow, and thrive.
