Homeless Court

Friday, October 15 was Homeless Court at the Center. It was easily one of the best days I have had working with St. Vincent de Paul. We had actual Court with a judge and the public defendent, the DA, clerks, the whole deal. The guys got rid of their non-violent misdemeanors in exchange for proof that they have been making themselves better. A lot of the men have really been doing a good job of volunteering or going to AA meetings and clearing their records is such a good way to keep the train moving in the right direction. I really felt as though I was part of everything. We did something concrete.

Glad to hear things are going in the right direction for "your guys"! Thinking of making any changes in your career thoughts?
Although you'll feel just as good about helping people make healthy life-style changes or just making them better when they're sick. I look forward to seeing you next week. Love til then.
