Jarell Brings Joy to the Shelter

Jarell and puppet Zoe

Meet Zoe the puppet. Though small in stature, Zoe has helped to bring a smile to the faces of so many. Of course, we like to think that behind every great puppet is a great person—in this case, Jarell. Most Fridays at the Men’s Shelter, you can find Jarell and Zoe performing a comedy sketch for the other men in the shelter. Jarell, who likes to invite other clients to be a part of the show, recently told us: “I know that the guys inspire each other when they come up and be a guest in the show. I get to bring light and laughter in a time when, for so many, there isn’t much.” Jarell, we couldn’t have said it better.
