CELEBRATE with us all the good in April!
• We passed out 21 Monthly Verse Cards! Here are some of the responses:
- When a woman returned after being away her cards hadn't been stolen! She is going to take them with her when she moves.
-"Oh yeah, it's a new month. Another one to go on the mirror"
-"Amen"
-She was excited when we gave her her cards. She had quite a few to receive since we hadn't seen her in a while. She had a big smile on her face. 😃
-A woman said she keeps every card, verse, etc and puts them in a ziploc bag so they don't get ruined.
-A woman thanked us for the MVC we gave her, she said how much she loved us.
-A woman asked for her MVC this time. We didn't have a chance yet to share with her and she came to the car asking for it. She said she keeps every single one. She rips the verses off the bags and if the other ladies are going to throw their meal bags away, she takes theirs too.
-A woman keeps every MVC and reads them all the time. "They have really gotten me through some hard times. I read them all the time"
• We passed out 2 devotionals, a woman asked for one before we had a chance to give it to her.
• We celebrated one birthday!
• Survivor Praise:
- A woman is doing well. She has a job (yay!) It's manual labor and she is doing it until she can find something more permanent. She's such a good worker that the owner of the company pays for an uber to get her from Detroit to where they are working. She went to the doctor’s this week and her check up went well.
Praises:
• A woman's dog bites are healing.
• A woman has been kept safe from a controlling man/situation.
• The two people living in a car, finally signed the lease and got the keys that night. She doesn't have a bed, but sleeping on the carpeted floor was so much better than the car. She was so thankful and praising God with us when we saw her the next night. We were able to go and visit them at their new place. She is very happy and she cooked her first meal: pasta. She was able to get the belongings she had from her mom. So much happier.
• We got to know a little more about a woman. Family, stories from the past. She opened up to us and we opened up to her.
• Even though a woman is so young and so much has happened to her she is so caring. She was in the house when we came taking care of another woman. Checking her blood pressure and watching over her.
• A woman is doing a lot better mentally and is clean. She has also gained some weight and looks much healthier. She is talking with family again.
• A man was the first one out the door to see us and get his meal. But when we only had two left and five people (four of them being women/girls) he gave us his meal back and said to give it to one of the women. That was a huge decision he made and not one he has done before.
• A woman was able to schedule a meeting to figure out a solution for her house so she doesn't lose it. It's a big step.
• A woman's blood pressure is doing a lot better. She has been drinking tea we gave her that helps with high blood pressure (she really liked it), we also gave her bananas which help with high blood pressure as well.
• A woman was able to attend her grandpa's funeral and was able to see her family.
• We found out a woman is in recovery (yippee!)
• A woman is doing really well regarding her leg and her last surgery. She has her stitches out. She came out two nights to see us and didn't have a cane or a walker. She was walking really well and looked great.
• A woman was excited we remembered her name!
So much in April to rejoice about! Thank you for all you do to make good happen in the women’s lives. It is so appreciated! 💜💙
