GRAND HAVEN, Mich. Every now and then, we all need a little support.
That is what JD Edgington was hoping to find, when he posted on a Facebook community group in Grand Haven. He was asking for suggestions where to find a free shower and the cheapest laundromat.
But soon, he gained so much more. I just posted on there asking for laundry and a shower, said Edgington. And within 24 hours, I had a job and a vehicle.

GRAND HAVEN, MICH. â A man in Grand Haven down on his luck got a gift he says he ll never take for granted: a second chance.
JD Edgington has been waiting for life to give him a break. He quit his job two years ago as a firefighter in southwest Iowa, when his PTSD from a call where a 9-year-old boy died became too much to bear.
Then, he says that s when his drinking got out of control. One way or another he found himself living in West Michigan. He got sober after going to rehab back in October.
