After visiting the Emancipation Station, a shelter for women, I thought about it a long time afterwards. I was in awe of Pastor Alice Pigee-Wallack who runs the center. Her strength for dealing with the difficult and hard stories of these women. Sometimes it is a story of mental illness, sometimes drugs, abuse, or just hard luck. Just recently "Pastor Alice" as they call her, told me that the story we did helped them earn a $5000 grant. It motivates me to go out and do more photography like this.
If you or someone you know would like to help the Emancipation Station, contact the Janet Brown Moss at janetbridgeworks@sbcglobal.net or call 816.531.6577. To contact the True Light Family Resource Center, please call 816.561.1700 or emailtruelightfrc@hotmail.com.
