PLANO – A Plano man who has dedicated much of his life to helping people in need, is now in need of help himself.
Shawn Jones dedicated his life to helping the homeless population across DFW, and now his mother finds herself without a home after it was recently destroyed by a fire.
“Overwhelmed. I’m just overwhelmed,” Jones said.
Jones is usually not the one asking for help but is known in the Plano community to give help. Jones says he has given decades and hours of his life to feeding and caring for the homeless. He says he volunteers through the charity, Feed the City, where he and other volunteers make thousands of sandwiches for the homeless community. He has even raised money during the holidays to buy and distribute tents, supplies, and sleeping bags for the homeless to get through the winter months.
“There’s people that are doing the right thing that still end up in the wrong place,” Jones adds.
