Thank you for sharing your story!

ALL DONE!

Yes, we had an opportunity to serve a family where our grandmother had ended up having to take care of her four grandchildren. And the grandmother was 60, which is important to us to know and also going blind. And so so it was a really real situation that was devastating for her. But nevertheless, we were able to step in. We started with doing Christmas for them because it was near that time, and so our church broke up and whoever else wanted to help and provided Christmas gifts needing toys and clothes and bedding and the things that the four children needed. And it was really exciting because they were excited to receive those things that we were able to give them. But not just that day. We were able to go on and go to her house and meet with her periodically. We did a Bible study with her and the children like once a month for a while and just other things that met their needs. We started picking up the children and bringing them to church and they were involved in the church services and the young man really loved the scenes. It was really exciting for him to be there. One of the children, one of the girls really gave the grandmother hard time and was in and out of not fostered care, but kind of a detention periodically because she was really having a hard time with her mother not being there. And we came on pretty close to when the grandmother just received the children. And so since then, the mother has gotten out of gotten out of jail and it's now taking care of her own children. And so we don't see them like they used to. So that's kind of sad because we have really established a relationship but thankful for the opportunity being there.
