5 Year Anniversary: Employee Submissions!

To celebrate our 5 year anniversary, we ran a contest in the office. Employees were invited to submit a poem, story, song or picture. Here are our winners!

Winner: Ruth Gross

There was a nice woman
Who lived in a shoe,
She had so many bills,
She didn't know what to do.

She went to Amerihope
With her fears and her dreams,
And with a smile and some work,
They saved her home that sat by a stream.

Her family is now happy
And is able to cope.
She said, "Thank you Lord,
For sending me to Amerihope"

She then kissed all her children
And made sure they were fed
And when they were done,
She tucked them all in bed.

Runner Up: Joe Mizzell
