How does one celebrate Redemption?

Not me, mind you, I’m asking for a friend. My friend has really missed out on life. Very early in their professional career they witnessed a bungled pedophile investigation that went sideways, resulting in the negligence death of a public school boy, covered up by a coroner keen to protect a political party they were beholden to. Coroner blamed the parents and shafted a whistleblower witness. The whistleblower was fat and lost their public service job and had no recourse but move state where they were still unemployable. Nearly thirty years have passed, their life is nearing an end and they have nothing to show for it, except the depraved indifference of bureaucrats which left wing loonies are keen to imbue with more power.
However, my friend is thankful for God in his life. Sure he has no actual family who’d stand by him. His friends are terrified he is too needy and might ask for help. Big tech companies boot him about because they don’t like his politics supporting economic conservatism and MAGA Trump ideals. So he is booted off FB and Messenger for life, and cannot access decade old emails, photographs, videos or memories he made online. He cannot connect with apps which allow him to connect via FB. And FB sends him messages suggesting he join up, but they won’t accept him.
It is a Wonderful life, made by Frank Capra in 1946 and is relevant today. Because it illustrates redemption. But, what is redemption for my friend? When McConnell can diss everything my friend has stood for, and spits on him, as he claims another six more years of a snout in the trough lifestyle while a stand up guy is beaten up. How does one celebrate redemption?
