Soteria At Work, Craftsman

Donald comes to us from Baltimore, MD. In and out of jail since he was thirteen, Donald made the decision to live for God instead of himself and  found a home at Soteria.  He says that woodworking is a natural fit because he has always loved working with his hands, and he feels connected to Jesus through carpentry.  Check out the pieces this man makes, and you will agree that carpentry is a natural fit.  The tables, swings, and artifacts he creates for Soteria At Work are absolutely gorgeous.
