Good Sam Resident Helping with Laundry

THIS IS THE STORY IN HER OWN WORDS

HI, MY NAME IS DANIELLE COCKRELL. I CAME TO GOOD SAM FOUR MONTHS
AGO FROM DALLAS,TEXAS. I WAS LOOKING FOR A FRESH START. A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED THAT I COME TO CORPUS SO I DID AND LONG STORY SHORT I ENDED UP WITH NOWHERE TO STAY SO I CAME HERE. SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE THEY HAVE SHOWN ME THE MEANING OF HOPE WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD SEEMED TO BE AGAINST ME. I AM SO THANKFUL TO GOD FOR BRINGING ME HERE AND I HOPE ONE DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN THE BLESSINGS THAT HAVE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ME DURING MY STAY HERE......DANIELLE

WHEW!!!! WE MADE IT THROUGH SOMEWHAT SANE

WHAT A WEEK WE HAVE HAD HERE AT GOOD SAM.

WHILE IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS BAD AS OUR SILLY PICTURE WOULD MAKE IT SEEM TO BE
IT WAS A CRAZY WEEK NONE THE LESS. KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS AS WE VENTURE IN TO OUR BUSIEST TIME OF YEAR.
