                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 5, 2025

  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.
