We’ve got a poet in the Interfaith Hospitality Network, our emergency shelter. She says that writing helps her overcome her stress and anxiety—and she hopes that her poetry can inspire others. We just love the poem that she shared with us last month, and we think you will too. Thank

A New Car in the Lot at Family Promise!
Most of us take transportation for granted.
