Meet Our New Friends

Meet out two new interns: Luke and Kasia.

Kasia is our intern for her last semester of Florida State’s Masters in Social Work program. After completing her undergraduate degree in philosophy at New College, she decided to pursue social work in order to address the many needs of individuals affected by the criminal justice system. Luke is finishing his Bachelors in Social Work. Luke started as a volunteer at JH last year and is now interning with us as well.

“I looked out my window and I see that Father Dustin needs help. Cars were getting stuck out in front of Joseph House. One thing I like doing is praying. I prayed to God that we need help in front of the house because people are getting stuck. While I stayed in my chair I just imagined that I would get stuck. I started praying, “Open up my heart, my soul.” With the faith God gave me, it was going to happen. Within an hour or so, God answered my prayers. The only thing I heard was trucks. Everything was being moved around, the earth, and the machines in the front yard. God sent an angel to rebuild the foundation of Joseph House. My friend showed up and said, “Holy crap. You mean to tell me that they are building it right now? It’s impossible, I thought it was supposed to happen next week!” No Papa, I prayed last night, crying praying, I prayed alone, I cried alone. God sure answered Joe’s prayer! It hast to come from your heart. You’ve got to be well known with God. This house should be safe for others and ourselves.

Joseph House, through the generosity of our donors, has been able to take concrete steps towards justice by restoring the dignity of those leaving the prison systems.

In less than one year our ministry has grown in leaps and bounds, impacting the lives of many for one simple reason: people are sharing the good news.
