Tax Deductible Donations, and Donations for an Online Auction will be accepted. We have a close friend who is in desperate need of home repairs, but is unable to pay because she is on a fixed income. This 58 year old woman is disabled and a widow having lost her husband and caregiver in 2015. She has been predominantly in a wheelchair since 2010. She has been able to keep the roof over her head, and with the help of food banks and local organizations has kept food on her table. Our friend lives locally, on her own, away from siblings who live in other states. She had always depended on her church family for support and aid, but as of 2015 she was no longer able to go to church, and because she wasn’t actively involved nearly all of those relationships ended. She has been a servant of the Lord since 1986 when she was introduced to Jesus, and God began using her in the areas of music and teaching. Because she is mostly housebound, she has just a handful of local friends, and only two who visit regularly. She has very nice neighbors who began cutting her yard when they found out she was having to pay someone and could only afford to have the lawn mowed once a month. Her only outings are to doctor’s appointments. She does not have cable or TV, and only through the generosity of a friend does she have a wi-fi hot spot so that she can communicate with family. Recently, her furnace broke down and needed to be replaced costing $4600. Half of the house is without electricity because she ran out of money trying to get it repaired. The electric and bathroom are the most necessary work to be done. Her wheelchair cannot fit into the bathroom, and she must walk in using the sink to aid, which is very difficult and causes excruciating pain. In addition to the inaccessibility, the floor is rotting through from a previously unknown leak beneath the bathtub and there is a small hole started. Any money raised will first handle the electric, then remodel the bathroom to be handicap accessible. Any money left over will pay down/off the furnace bill. There are also other small, but necessary, projects needing to be done around the house as they can be completed; Kind of a “Honey-Do” list. If you are able to donate money, time, service, or something for the auction, we would greatly appreciate your generosity
