                    RECOGNIZING FRANCKY PIERRE-PAUL

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 1, 2020

  Ms. FRANKEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Francky Pierre-
Paul, a local hero from Florida's 21st Congressional District that has 
gone above and beyond as a tireless advocate for the homeless community 
in Palm Beach County.
  Francky has become a familiar and friendly face to those in our 
community experiencing homelessness. Before COVID-19, Francky would go 
to John Prince Park once a month with a mobile shower, hold clothing 
and food drives, and offer haircuts to the people who live there. He 
would also frequently go to Palm Beach County Commission meetings and 
speak on behalf of the John Prince Park homeless community. Since the 
pandemic started, however, Francky has only become more generous with 
his time. In fact, he has now started going to John Prince Park two-to-
three times every day to distribute food and resources to those in 
need.
  Francky's selflessness and compassion during this difficult time is 
truly humbling. His outstanding work has touched countless lives, and I 
am so thankful for his dedication to our community. I am proud to honor 
him today.
