We need your help!!!

We really need your help!!!

Please Join Us In Making This Mom's Day!!!

After talking to a young mother this morning I wanted to share her story and see if we might be able to help her out today...

She contacted Ruth's Heart last September and at that time was pregnant and had 4 children, ages 9,7,6,2.  She was trying to get on her feet and was enrolled for housing through the Agape program.  She had to wait 2 weeks for housing and we assisted her with one week at Trinity shelter.

We tried to contact her in October and her number was no longer in service so we weren't sure what was going on...

Well, she called today and since we last talked to her last, she has completed the 4 month program at Agape.  She is enrolled in CDL school that starts Monday morning and is planning to get her CDL and apply for a school bus driving position.  She is supposed to be moving into her new apt this weekend.  MIFA is assisting her with her first 2 months rent so she will have rent and utilities paid while she goes to school, she is moving because her housing through Agape was only for 6 months.


The only thing keeping her from moving into her own apartment is that she has a MLGW bill of $468 and cannot move into her new apartment until utilities are on, and can't have the utilities transferred until this is paid.


You can donate safely and securely here:

Please just consider this request and let us know if you would like to help.  Any amount will help and ALL DONATIONS made through this post will go directly to help this single mom.  Unfortunately she needs this done either today or over the weekend so she can move on Monday.  If there are questions you would like answered please let me know.  I would love to show her that her efforts are not hopeless and that people still care.

A Humble Morning...

A gentleman that calls us about once a month for a single bus pass called this morning...for the first time in over a year he asked for his usual single bus pass for his a family counseling appt. and this time he also asked if there was any way we could help him find some food. I am often humbled by the selflessness of the people we serve. The tone in his voice sounded genuinely sorry to be asking for food...I wonder if I could ever be so humble in his situation. 


Learn more about our Bus Pass Program here:


If you'd like to help those like this sweet man, you can help by donating here or leave us a comment if you'd like to volunteer. Thanks and take a moment today to realize all that you have. Be blessed!

Got Sheets????

Remember our dear friend Korea? You may remember a post about her and her family a few weeks ago. We have a very special request for her today. Previously her family all slept on the floors (pallet beds as she says) but today she has had beds (mattresses and box springs) donated for her whole family!!! 

However, she doesn't have any bedding or frames for them. She has a King a Queen and a Full size bed. Please visit our webpage below and if you can help with any of these items, please let us know!!!





Thanks for being a blessing to our dear friend Korea and please keep her and her family in your prayers!

What Does Love Look Like???

Would you like to bless someone today that you don't even know?  We have a young man that is really taking charge of his life, working 2 (yes TWO) jobs, serving at Jacob's Well​ on Saturdays, and being a father to his 2 year old daughter.  
We would like to bless him with transportation for the next 2 months so getting to and from work is 1 less thing for him to worry about.  If you would like to help you can donate here:  www.ruthsheart.org/donations.  We are trying to raise $100 total so any amount is greatly appreciated!  Thanks for showing this young man and father what 'Love' looks like!
