Why James L.J.?

The James L.J. Center is named after Kimberly's late brother, James.

His struggles with mental illness while incarcerated left a lasting impact on her heart.

She never wanted another individual to experience loneliness, isolation, or the feeling of being forgotten.

Every smile shared, every friendship created, and every meaningful day at the center honors his memory.
