Love Stories....Fall 2009

A family of five wrote to say, "Thank you so much for helping us with our auto repairs.  It's good to know there are people who cared about us!" Their income was decreased when the father's hours were cut to 32 hours a week.  Car repair costs were being but off and the vehicle was no longer safe.

Another family of five were suffering when the dad's hours were cut at Elyria Foundry.  They were short food money, and we were able to assist them with a gift card provided by a member church.

A woman on disability and SSI, need help to pay her rent.  She was helped by her church, Church of the Open Door, who was able to get her rent bill current.
