Taking the next step...a follow up letter from our client and friend
Below is a response from the lady from our last post, thanks to our supporters and donors, we have been able to help. When people ask "why we do what we do" this is EXACTLY why...very humbled and blessed today.
i had to find this today and say thank you so much to God and you and the donor this past week has been hard i was thinking i did right in leaving my abuser but in all reality it became more of a struggle than i thought when you loose everything clothes food car phone basic needs in life to survive and to start over from scratch i didnt know if i had the strength everyday i cry my self to sleep saying ok god all i have is you i have tired different places for help but being a single woman unless you have children its hard and starting from nothing and waking up wondering if you have clothes to go outside in the cold or if i will eat today i just try to push forward and say God please help me make it through one more day well when i recieved your flyer i hestitated to call scared of hearing the word no again but something was tugging at my heart to call and when you answered the phone there was a kindness in your voice that calmed my spirit and you said yes to helping with wrk pants i thought to myself wow thank you lord then when i met you my heart melted you didnt even know me bbut you showed me the love of god so when the shelter said its time to go out and move on i was scared going out in to the world with nothing or noone then i rembered your flyer and i called and once again a miracle i cried for an hour last night after your call because i know i still dont have much but now i have you as a friend on the other side of that phone line when i call and also i now know that my daddy in heaven has been hearing my crys i am so thankful for you and ruths heart i will continue to fight the good fight of faith and be still because God will provide one way or the other..............god bless ruths heart
