Easter card writing

Some of the guys from our local county jail sent our church a thank-you letter for the Valentine's candy we sent. Our teens had made up 150 bags to be given to the male and female inmates. Some of these men/women were my students when I worked at a local high school. I felt such sadness as I read the letter to the church. These kids were like mine and had called me "mom." Little did they know it was my son's idea to do so! Because some of them harbor such hate for him and have made death threats, he has been in segregation since July 31st. He has given his clothes, books, Bibles, food and anything else to help the less fortunate.
He prays for them, calms those who have mental issues, reads the Bible to them through the air conditioning ducts. Lately, he has been so depressed and has begged me to have people his age write to him.
I refused to call or get in touch with any of his previous "friends" which has led him to believe I don't love him!!
So if you know of anyone who would like to be his "pen pal" he would be so thankful!! He loves getting mail from anyone but is wanting someone who is closer to his age, Christian, and hopefully as he says.."Not old like you mom!"
His address:
James Henderson
700 South 4th Street
Crockett, Texas 75835
His mail does not require his inmate number since it is a small jail.
Thanks and God Bless all you Moms...Diane
