“When Joyce’s documentary was shown at our Annual Dinner the audience was moved. It was suddenly clear that homelessness in Chicago is a matter of life or death. They understood the plight of homeless people on a deeper level and dug more deeply into their pockets…Joyce Fox has been an essential part of our communications and media relations in good times and bad and has consistently come through for us.”                         -Michael O’Hara, REST Board President
