Paola's 1st Special Needs Gift is on it's way!!!

The current "stove"




For those of you who are not a part of the group sponsorship of Paola, let me get you a little more up to date. When Mack visited Paola, it was noted that the family needs a lot of things. I sent a request for an IGP/ other way we could help the family. Because of the mother's lack of education, it was determined that an IGP would not be a good idea at this time (she doesn't know basic math nor how to read/write). There were several items that the family could use help with. Since our fundraiser are not moving very fast at this time, we decided it was best to contribute a little (each of us in the group who wanted to participate) to get her the 3 small things to start off. Here is what we are providing for her:

stove $42

table $25

gas cylinder $58

The people who donated to the fundraiser & amounts are as follows:

Robyn- $10

Efrain- $20

Mack- $20

Heather- $20

Dee- $10

Barbara- $10

Bernie- $20

Candace- $15 (she will be sending her money shortly, but I am fronting it for her now, so that we can go ahead and send the funds to the field)

Total= $125

We have other projects we will surely do for her in the next few months, but I am grateful that our small group was able to get her these small things that will mean so much!!
