Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding contributions that Felicia Jones has made to our community through her work with New Beginnings Youth Shelter which serves homeless kids aged 10-17 who are between foster homes, abandoned, or homeless. Led by Felicia, the whole team jumps in to take care of the kids that have no one else. They teach the kids structure, respect, understanding and so much more in a loving environment. The team seems to really care and to really be invested with the kids. It takes a special breed of people who can handle working with this population and carry on loving every single kid that comes through in the exact way he or she needs to be loved.

It is clear Felicia Jones has made a profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for her service. May we all strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
