SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Many of us are enjoying the comfort and joy of being around family this holiday season.
But, some are answering a higher calling working to help those who have next to nothing.
One day to the next may be different for Jesus Montes as he walks the corridors of Father Joe’s Villages.
“I would say no two days are the same,” Montes said.
But this Tuesday and Wednesday are special days as staff greet each other with “Merry Christmas,” and decorations are seen in the cafeteria and more.
“Even though we may not be with our families on the very day, we still get to bring home all that joy. I feel like that energy gets transferred from here and into our homes, you know?” Montes said. “It’s really a gratifying feeling to be here and to see the kids’ faces light up and the clients’ faces light up.”
This is Jesus’ third Christmas working to help San Diego’s homeless at Father Joe’s.
He saw the positive things that could happen to one client who came to Father Joe’s during Christmas.
