Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday brought Christmas a little early to some beyond well deserved homeless veterans in West Los Angeles. He took to Twitter to share the news of good cheer.

"Today, I celebrated Christmas early. The 25 homes I donated for homeless veterans were installed here in LA," the former governor wrote in a Thursday tweet. "It was fantastic to spend some time with our heroes and welcome them into their new homes."

The Terminator worked very closely with Village for Vets, a nonprofit dedicated to providing food and shelter to homeless and at-risk veterans, as well as Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough and volunteer organization American Veterans (AMVETS) to build the tiny homes. The $250,000 donation was something that Schwarzenegger could not pass up on as he has been a huge advocate for helping veterans throughout his successful career. In another tweet Village for Vets said this:

"Schwarzenegger's $250,000 donation to the nonprofit made it possible for the organization to purchase and build the remaining 25 shelters at the Los Angeles VA's Care Treatment Rehabilitative Services (CTRS) site."

The Austrian superstar had this to say about the act of generosity and why he believes that this was what Christmas is all about. “All of you have the power to do something for someone else this holiday season. It doesn’t have to be big. Just give a few minutes of your time to help someone else.”

Los Angeles has increasingly embraced the “tiny home” concept to address the city’s massive growing homeless population. The units are 64 square feet and can be easily assembled. They have two beds, full heating and air-conditioning and a small desk. Hope of the Valley launched its first “Tiny Home Village” in North Hollywood in February of 2020.

The new home already has one veteran very excited and grateful. Ferris Keams, who spent months living outside in a tent said that this is a lifesaver that he will never be able to forget. “No squirrels and no rats,” he told Fox 11 in LA approvingly of his new house. “It’s home.”

"I've made and have this great success because of America," the former bodybuilder and actor born in Austria told Elex Michaelson, of FOX 11 Los Angeles' show. "If it isn't bodybuilding, if it isn't business, if it isn't show business, movies and politics — whatever I tackled I achieved because of America, so to me, it's always great to give something back."

The actor has always given back to the state of California as well as America. This was a great way to send a message of hope to so many this time of year. Currently there are roughly 3,900 homeless veterans that call L.A. their home. The numbers are growing at a rapid rate which is why something like this is so important to see. It brings a spotlight on a major problem as Schwarzenegger said. These are the stories we like to read about not just this time of year but always.
