Carenna Was Homeless

From Vince, Leader of No Place Homeless Outreach,
Today's paper contained an article about a 43 year old woman who was found behind a vacant building on Government St. last night. She passed away after being transported to a local hospital.
It is with sadness that this email is being sent. The woman found was Careena Burke, one of the ladies we've loved on, fed, prayed for and clothed over the last three years.
No Place outreach of HPC's Baton Rouge Dream Center is an outreach to the homeless population of Baton Rouge. An outreach that my daughter Evangeline has been involved with since 2007 and I go to periodically. Carenna was loved dearly by Evangeline and the entire No Place team.
Not long after that Carenna was back at the breakfast and hanging around her normal area. She was always drunk, sometime beat up, and always homeless. Drinking was her life. Last Wednesday she came to the breakfast where she was loved on by the No Place Team.
Carenna had said in the past that she knew Jesus. She would sing gospel songs at the breakfast and cry. I pray she really did know him.
