It was a challenge looking past him being an absent parent but with God's permission I was able to forgive my father for his shortfall and offer him a life changing opportunity through employment with Encouraging Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service. Mr. Hudnell, now has a stable job as a car tech specialist/record keeper, he has his own place and is no longer homeless.
