A thank you note from The Shoulder
A thank you note from a parent of Holy Nativity Episcopal School, Panama City
June 5, 2019

Reverend De Freeman,
Please forgive the delay in this note of tremendous appreciation for the thoughtfulness and kindness our children at Holy Nativity Episcopal School in Panama City received from your organization during the holidays. Eight months post Hurricane Michael, many families like ours are still displaced from our homes without a date for reconstruction to begin; yet, I didn’t want another day to pass without thanking all of you for lifting our spirits so much at Christmastime. Your hearts would have overflowed to see the children pile into the car the day they received their stocking from your organization, filled with goodies AND a Chick-fil-A gift card! To receive such kindness and unconditional love was healing to our children, as well as to us parents as we witnessed the impact of God’s love.   

Thank you for your beautiful actions and for the example you set for all of us. We are greatly inspired to pass it on.

With Love and Gratitude,
Caroline

Thank you, thank you to the meal ministry at St James's! 
A lot of the ministering I received went well beyond the good cooking.  
Thank you for being there.
