Love going here. They help in so many ways. I suffer from depression and they help me learn new coping skills. I love arts and crafts plus I love all my new friends.
Two months ago, I got approved to visit a friend in this Institution for prison ministries with my pastor and a friend. We had visited her a few times so far, and we're looking forward to seeing her there for the next six months. God works in mysterious ways. He's always good every time. Thanks again.
