Kindness and generosity is what keeps this nonprofit afloat!

Grouch (our stewardship rig) needed a new RTT REAL BAD! The one on it was left over another donor rig. It had holes, leaked, and whoever was staying in it while volunteering on a project....got wet when it rained.

I'm proud to say the word got out to our community that we needed one and guess what??? After a 520 mile trip to retrieve it.....we have a nice RTT to be installed on Grouch!

No not one from a sponsor, but from a friend of the community .....
Thank you Louis Frender and your son for this gift! It's this type of kindness that keeps this ship sailing!
