Dedication

Dedicated to Joe Ann Richmond affectionately known as aunt Joe Ann or grandma. Just Because Ministries was the culmination of her life’s mission and work of giving to the needy, feeding those who are hungry, and opening her heart and home to those who are without. Aunt Joe Ann’s passion was to feed the people who she felt was the most over looked and neglected, so she made feeding the homeless her mission. If someone was in need aunt Joe Ann would find a way to get them what they needed. It was aunt Joe Ann’s dream to legally establish Just Because Ministries as a non-profit organization. It was my promise to her to carry on the seeds she has sewed and continue her legacy.

Aunt Joe Ann was filled with so much love, sass and faith. She has never met a stranger because everyone she has ever met she considered family. In her darkest moments she held on to faith and always made Jesus her number one. She instilled the word of God and the desire to help those less fortunate in her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. So Thank you aunt Joe Ann for planting the seed because without you this would not have been possible.
