Encinitas Local Starts 'Anything Warm Drive' After Homeless Uncle Dies in Carlsbad [Video]

Devin Brown started the clothing and blanket drive Jan. 7 after learning her Uncle "Chooch" passed away at Holiday Park in Carlsbad.

Encinitas resident Devin Brown, 22, sprung into action after her family learned her homeless uncle died during an especially cold week in January.

Her uncle had been homeless by choice for more than six years and was last seen at Holiday Park in Carlsbad. Devin described him as a very happy and generous man who was always smiling.

Devin's "Anything Warm" drive is continuing through Feb. 12. Feel free to donation beanies, gloves, jackets, sleeping bags, socks, blankets or anything else warm to any of these drop off locations in North County:

'...MPH degree program to attend a 3-day workshop ... challenge the CNA licensure examination inRead More California.... ... Aristotle felt that by becoming licensed professionals in the U.S. shortly after their arrival to the shores of the U.S., they would have a greater opportunity to receive better clinical positions when they applied for the work-study internships that they were eligible to participate in....' the school told students that were enrolled in masters' degrees that certification as a cna was part of the road to obtaining a masters degree ?? stop right there... masters in public health is an administrative position that has nothing to do with being a cna....and i'm sure people didn't travel thousands of miles to do the grunt work in a hospital.... yea, getting a cna license is a great suggestion for an 18 year old that's going into the nursing field....but not for someone in the masters' program.... and fyi phony college.....in this country a person has to have a 4 year degree before they can apply for the masters' program....
