Local Readers Can Help!

My heart breaks for those in Haiti who
are in such dire straights after this
massive earthquake. How I would love to
help in a big way. It is not within my
ability to do that right now, but there is
something else I am working on that some
of you could help with...

There is a woman we found out about who
had to get out of an abusive relationship
quickly. She left with the clothes on her
back. Actually I don't even know her name.
She is a friend of my mom's hairdresser.

This woman needs help setting up a new life.
Furniture, Pans, dishes, silverware,
Pictures for the walls....gift cards to
Wal-Mart, etc.
You get the idea. She has nothing.

We will be loading a truck with a bed and
two chairs to take to her on Friday. Anyone
who has items to donate can contact me
and we will arrange to get them from you.

It takes a lot of courage to remove yourself
from what you know sometimes, even if it is
bad....I am excited to help this lady get
a healthy new start.

I understand she is a new believer, as well.
How neat it will be to meet her.
I do hope that through this effort of her
dear friend, the hairdresser, she sees the
love of Jesus in a tangible way!
