This week I did something I have never done before, and I am so glad I did. After hearing about the plans to close Joshua House on the news, I was livid. Having volunteered at Joshua House and seen first hand the results of the work accomplished there I was compelled to take action in some way I could reach a lot of people without delay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started a petition on change.org<\/a> and published it a little after 10:00 PM on February 4th. I suspect you may have seen the petition or heard about it already, but in case you have not, please visit https:\/\/change.org\/savejoshuahouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have received signatures from over 1100 supporters, (primarily central Florida residents familiar with the program) in less than 55 hours since its publication. It seems pretty obvious how the community feels. The petition continues to gain momentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am humbled by the overwhelming response, but most of all by the comments people have left saying why they support the petition<\/a>, so I am sharing some of them with you today. Finally, please<\/strong> read the petition and sign to show your support. Take a moment to watch the video as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
