WE'VE COME TOO FAR TO GIVE UP NOW!
For months, Tracy and Sunshine Gantt Ministries has been working tirelessly to prepare a new home for Pickens County Shelter of Hope.
What should have been an exciting new chapter for our ministry has turned into one of the most challenging journeys we've ever faced.
When the City of Pickens denied our zoning request, it didn't just delay our plans to move. It brought part of our renovations on the new building to a halt for several months! Renovations we had originally expected to complete over several months suddenly had to be squeezed into a matter of days. And as anyone can imagine, trying to accomplish months of work in just days is incredibly difficult!
But despite every obstacle and delay, WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO CROSSING THE FINISH LINE!
Unfortunately, while we've been working through one challenge after another, the bills haven't stopped coming!
We've continued covering the everyday expenses of operating Pickens County Shelter of Hope while also paying expenses associated with preparing and maintaining our new facility.
We had a plan. We had a timeline. And we had carefully prepared for the financial changes that would come with moving into a much larger building.
But the months of delays have thrown those plans off track, leaving our ministry carrying expenses that we did not expect.
And through it all, OUR MISSION HAS NEVER STOPPED!
Every single day, people continue depending on us for shelter, meals, showers, clothing, encouragement and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. Regardless of the challenges we've faced, we've continued showing up for them because their needs don't stop simply because we're going through a difficult season.
But we need to be transparent with our community.
This prolonged transition has placed a tremendous financial strain on our ministry and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We're asking our churches, businesses, friends, neighbors and everyone who believes in what we do to please consider making a financial contribution to help us sustain our ministry through this transition.
Your donation isn't about making our move possible. It's about helping us continue the work we've been doing while navigating the financial impact of these delays.
And if you're unable to give financially, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! You never know whose heart it may reach or who may be in a position to help. 💗
We've worked too hard, overcome too many obstacles and witnessed too many lives changed to give up now.
We are STILL standing. STILL serving. STILL believing. And STILL trusting GOD! ✝️
