Turning a federal prison program into a program that those in the community can experience without going behind bars. That's the ideal goal that Agape Community Services has, which is going to be next to the Woodbury County Jail out on the north side of Sioux City.
One Siouxland mom is turning her hardships into hopefulness and purpose. Rachelle Rawson continues to battle breast cancer. She was first diagnosed while expecting her seventh child. During that time, she underwent surgery before delivering her baby and her battle isn’t over. For a more than a year she has made the trip to Rochester, MN, about every three weeks, for treatment at the Mayo Clinic. Through the pain, chemo and radiation she continues be the best mother she can for her kids.
