The Kitchen--Jen

[Guest guest]

Thank you Jen. I just can't describe how they people (clients) touched my life!

What a Blessing to me to be able to help those who can't manage on their own.

Some were in wheelchairs barely able to use their arms, some had had strokes,

others had other disabilities, and others (the homeless) who have chosen to live

a simpler form of life for a reason they only know. It was just FANTASTIC and

UTTERLY AMAZING!

 

Love,

Katherine
