Compassion Place

I want to talk about a new non-profit charity. My big sister Jen created this in order to help people. It's called Compassion Place. You can find it online at:

https://compassionplace.wixsite.com/info
email: compassionplaceinfo@gmail.com

Now, let me tell you: Jen is also the creator of another site (https://www.fossilsandfeathers.org/).

She and her husband Ben are amazing people. Each year, they try to help someone in need. This year, Jen decided to create a non-profit in order to try to help more people. So Ben is on board at a shelter that helps less fortunate people.

This year, they were able to raise enough money to help a family of four: a grandmom, the mom, and the mom's two children (a girl aged 12 and a boy aged 11). Jen and Ben spent every penny they had on this family. Once they read their Christmas list, it broke their hearts. So they went above and beyond to help this anonymous family have a great Christmas. But what touched them was the girl who asked for a bed to sleep in. If they couldn't get a bed, maybe a sleeping bag.

I'm a 42-year-old man in prison for murder, and this brought tears to my eyes. No child should go without something as basic as a bed and toys.

So again, Jen and Ben moved mountains. I am so happy to report that, for Christmas, these two children will be receiving beds from Compassion Place.

It is an honor and a privilege to know you's and be in your lives. I am enclosing copies of the forms this family filled out at the shelter center.

I ask anyone reading this, if you have the desire to help, the will to help, and the ability to help, please go online to the Compassion Place and donate. This charity was created to help people, and that's all we want to do. We began with one family. Now we want to learn how we can raise the funding to help even more. None of us are wealthy. I'm in prison, but we continue to help where we can.

If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Compassion Place. Jen is waiting there. We are a certified non-profit charity through the IRS. Every penny goes to helping someone in the outside world who needs it.

So thank you for listening. Please reach out to Jen. If she were a politician, the world would be a better place. Maybe I can talk her into it. Take care and God bless.
