Joseph's House does amazing work accompanying people who are homeless through terminal illnesses. I went to visit the house about a year ago, and was struck by the tenderness that I saw all around me. Walking in the door it was clear to me that I was in a home, not just a nursing facility. From the benches on the front porch, to the well-loved couches, to the giant dining room table, to the tapestries on the walls, everything called out a welcome to those walking through the door. The reverence that the staff, patients, and volunteers have for each other, and the warmth of their relationships radiates from the house. I can feel it even as I walk by on the street from time to time. I am proud to be able to support a place of belonging for people who have been marginalized for their entire lives, and that values the wisdom of people who have been seen as worthless. Please join me in supporting Joseph's House.
