Helpline needs:

Like Old Mother Hubbard we went to the cupboard and found the cereal
shelf bare!! Helpline is making this “special” cereal request to help bring the shelf back to overflowing because the next food drive is weeks away and this easy breakfast meal is always in demand. Cereal donations can be dropped off at the local supermarket entryway, Helpline Box or at Helpline House, 282 Knechtel Way. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

ROOFTOP 5:19

... As our first child, Exodus a 13 year old from Nigeria, progresses toward going home transformed, there are now other children on the horizon. We now have two children from Ecuador officially scheduled to arrive in the near future. Jhonnaton, a 6 year old boy with extensive burns will arrive at the end of February and Astrid, a 12 year old girl with below the knee amputations will be here at the end of March to be fitted for prosthetics.

If you are interested in learning about being a host family for future arrivals please contact John Morrow JONJETMOR@aol.com, Chuck Power cwpower73@aol.com, or Greg Abel grega@somtg.com.
