Grateful
Jennifer James is shown in portrait Monday, Dec. 19, 2022 at her home in Jacksonville. The 44-year-old mother of three daughters was in dire straights a year ago after being unemployed and without a home. James connected with Lutheran Social Services where she received resume, financial and career coaching. She is now fully-employed by LSI as travel coordinator at Cecil Airport and has a house of her own. "My hope is that people will have hope. Dreams do come true. Hope takes time, but it does not fail," James said. (Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union)
