“Thank You for Being So Nice to Us”

JD, his wife and their son and daughter-in-law rent a small place in Jacksonville. JD and his wife are both starting a new life after doing time in prison. HD and his wife are expecting their first child  and looking forward to starting a new life as a family with three generations to support and care for each other.

After getting groceries, clothing and small household items, they stopped back at my desk. “Thank you for being so kind to us; most people don’t care about us once they find out we’ve been on prison .” 

I’m so glad that St. Francis House believes in second, or however many it takes, chances! – Christina
