A Flower For My Grandparents

A New Life

Maribelle
Sometimes life has a way of flipping a coin. I found out that I was asked if I wanted a job and it was a young woman. Anastasia Steele decided to open an office to help with those who were found guilty but were innocent. She asked me if me and my cousins would find it worthwhile. We met with the attorney that helped get us free. Carrick Grey was the person who went above and beyond to get us free once they found out there was a lot of evidence proving our innocence. He showed us what Miss Steele wanted to do and she figured that we could bring a certain perspective to the project. We would be working closely with the people that could show that they had been found guilty of a crime they didn't commit. We agreed to work for her and soon they had an office building and we were setting up our offices and attorneys of all ages were volunteering their services.

Carrick
With my name attached to this project it brought in a lot of volunteers. Of course we had to make sure they were all there with honest intentions. The Michael's were very good and digging into backgrounds of everyone. They learned some skills in prison just like Maribelle Adams had. Barney helped set things up computer wise along with high tech security systems. Plus we put some good use to some of the clients families to help with the footwork to get their family members back on the street. We also found out some of the clients weren't so innocent.

Harry
The first day we found out that not everyone who wants our help is innocent. We had at least three family members blindsided by the amount of evidence that put their family members behind bars was indeed all true and no one framed anyone.

Daniel
We had one wife he trusted her husband blindly and we had to dispel her of that fact immediately. She ended up divorcing him and leaving Seattle.

Lewis
With three not so innocent clients we had five not guilty clients and we worked very quickly and thoroughly to get them free and helped them get back on their feet. Maribelle keeps all of us on our toes and out of trouble. We saw Anastasia Steele, but she said hands off and she is funding the project and we can't bite the hand that feeds us.

Anastasia
Project Freedom is up and running after six months. It was well worth the money to get it off the ground and it has been helpful in many ways. We have freed the innocent and found the guilty and enough evidence to assure they are in prison for a long time. Maribelle and her cousins were very good choices. Kate asked to write an article on them and I told her that would be their choice alone. Carrick helped this get set up and Kate actually helped by writing a piece on the opening of Project Freedom. It was very nice of him to help out. I discovered that Dr. Grace Grey is his wife, she saved my life. We have carbon monoxide monitors and they are checked regularly. My nearly dying was never in any news forums. Kate kept it hush hush as well.

Grace
I went to check out Project Freedom and I really liked Maribelle Adams and her cousins Harry, Lewis and Daniel Michaels. Carrick told me that his interns are working ten hours a week so they get experience in handling difficult cases. Anastasia put a lot of money into getting this up and running. She got funding for its continued work and salaries. Of course donations were made and some of the people they helped are giving back to ensure it keeps helping innocent people. I suggested that they hold auctions and other events to bring in more donations. The Steele company is a big contributor as well. I donated money as well. I bumped into a young blonde woman who was taking photos of various things and posting them to a news site. I asked her if she got permission to do that and she said she did and it was just to give people a chance to see that Project Freedom was not a glamorous place, but it is a utilitarian place that works hard for getting innocent people freed.

Kate
I know Grace is a volunteer and raises money for this place, but I was just photographing the interior and making sure not to have any pertinent information in the photos. I don't even get photos of the people. This is a good way to get funding for the innocent people who need help getting their convictions overturned. I generally don't show my work to anyone before I post it but I did it for Carrick and Grace Grey. Carrick for the legal aspects of what I am posted.

I was meeting mom and dad at the Project Freedom building today to look at doing repairs to the building at their expense. I guess they also want to add a childcare facility just in case they need it for the staff who are putting in some long hard hours to meet filing deadlines. Mom has a lot of ideas and we have gotten Maribelle on board with them after calling Miss Steele. I have no clue who Miss Steele but she had a background check ran on me and then okayed the work. This seems like a Christian move if you ask me. I watch the blonde talking to people and then taking photos of the before and she apparently is going to do the after photos. I finally introduce myself to her. Kate Kavanagh is rather pretty but she is about Mia's age and I am 8 years older than Mia and I don't date youngsters. I might need to rethink that because I can't stop looking at her.
