Map 5 Work







Bobble-heads for my exhibit

Today I did some work with JFCS. While at first glance this seems unrelated to my keystone, really it is. My love of fantasy novels stemmed from a hard period of my life were I was being bullied. The novels were a sort of escapism from the things that I didn't really want to think about. Today I helped clean JFCS' therapy playrooms were they work with kids who are having a hard time. JFCS has a lot of clients and our help today enabled their employees to focus on the clients rather than their facilities' upkeep.
