Help Single Moms (and Dads) :

Read the Reporter Herald’s article on the Gift Card Drive.

Pastor Bill Stevens shares about the Gift Card & Car drive.

One aspect of our ministry is to help those who are the most vulnerable in society, like single moms. Your gifts of Gift Cards and donations of Cars (Vehicles) will go directly to help single moms in need in our community. Gift cards for groceries, oil changes, fuel, hair cuts, meals, dental cleanings, Christmas presents for their kids, and clothing.

What kind of people are we helping?

November 2018

From Pastor Bill:

Two of the teachers at the high school where I taught last semester contacted me about a staff member who I know, but I didn’t know what she was going through. This dear single mom is in a life and death battle. She has 4 kids at the house and now she is facing breast cancer for the 2nd time – this time she has a rare form that is highly aggressive. She has hit stage 4 which is life threatening.

She is finding her help and strength in Christ, but this is still a frightening battle. To say the least it has unsettled her, her kids, friends, family, and co-workers.

She is going to be out of work for months. They need groceries, fuel, clothes, haircuts, basic necessities, Christmas gifts, Oil changes, etc.

She is in the middle of 7 weeks of radiation and will receive chemo until May. This is probably going to be the most difficult Thanksgiving and Christmas this family has ever faced. She has to drive herself daily 30 miles for treatments. This is a lady who took care of the high school kids in the health office for us when they were sick. Now, she is needing others to help care for her.

Sometimes there are things in life we cannot handle on our own. Even Christ needed help when He was carrying His cross. He collapsed under the weight of it and a man was conscripted to help Him carry His cross. Yes, there are things in life we absolutely cannot handle alone. This lady and the other single moms we have been contacted about need our assistance as a community this Holiday season.

The Gift Cards and Cars will go directly to help these single moms and others in desperate need this year. We just get to be the delivery people!

Family case workers in Loveland have asked us to help four families who need vehicles.

Family A – A Single mom of 5 working as a hotel housekeeper in need of a car.
Family B – A single mom of a young boy, who works as a surgical technician needs a vehicle.
Family C – A single grand-mom raising her grandson in need of a vehicle.
Family D – a single dad who has a rare medical issue and has two very little ones at the house. They need a car.

These are but a few of the kinds of needs we get to help.
