This man is a living miracle. Damaged by chemicals while working in the Navy, Richard’s lungs were down for the count. After numerous bouts with. Pneumonia, his lungs were done. They were planning his funeral. On Maundy Thursday he got a call that he was #2 on the list for new lungs. On Good Friday he got the call to come in tomorrow. He received two lungs from an unknown donor. On Easter Monday they woke him up to a new lease on life.

Peace has a Narcotics Anonymous group of around 25 people that meets in their building seven days a week. There is a distressing opioid crisis.
