With Paul as our Guest, ABODE is now a partner in the Compassionate Release Program, which allows federal prisoners to be released for “extraordinary or compelling circumstances.” At age 70, Paul was serving his sentence in Austin when he stopped eating and it became clear his life was drawing to a very quick close.

He came to us in early November so that his wife, sons and grandchildren could see him in person and say their goodbyes. They were able to do just that, and Paul died knowing how much he was truly loved.

We’re happy that we could help bring this family together so that they could look into Paul’s beautiful blue eyes one more time.
