This morning was filled with referrals from area hospitals and local non-profits such as Safe, Inc. and The Salvation Army. One woman sat with her caseworker, only hours away from delivering her child. She was so shocked at the amount and quality of aid that she received that at one point she stood starring speechless after we had loaded her caseworkers car. A father of two boys sat in a child size chair at a child sized table in our waiting room as both of our sofas were filled, as was the picnic table outside. His only wish was for coats and hats so that his children could stay warm. A different woman expressed extreme gratitude for the school supplies we provided. She proudly shared how her son would be the first one to finish high school in their family. One man shared how he rescued his son (actually a neighborhood child) from a life of despair and poverty. The man had recently lost his job but you wouldnt know it from the faith that he shared. The Lord works in funny ways.....hell show me where to go. He sent me to you and look how that worked out....he will show me where I am supposed to be.... This gentleman would only accept one item during his visit: one package of baby wipes. He described that occasionally his son still messes himself because of what he endured. Though we offered to provide additional aid, the gentleman wouldnt accept it because as he said the good lord will take care of the rest.
