Unfinished blog-- Where your money is going

I found a blog the other day that I had written down on paper but never made it to the computer, so much has been going on since then but I wanted to make sure I put this one down first, because many times I know I don't let everyone know what all is going on around here!

Where your money is going

For those of you who have contributed to the things going on here or who are going to contribute, or are even thinking about it, I realized at midnight tonight that you deserve to know what you are accomplishing through your gifts and the blessings they are providing. Mamas are getting medicine for their sick babies who otherwise couldn't. Two young ladies- who work hard for the Lord don't have to stop going to school because their families can't afford it. They are 12 and 14 and in the 4th grade. When their money runs out, they are sent home from school, and they just have to hope they can start over again the next year. Ashline's Mama now has accountability so where she won't throw objects at her 4 year old's head. 20 children receive breakfast everyday, which makes learning much easier when you don't have to fight the hunger in your stomach. Children who previously had no chance for education are learning with the use of four different languages. A young man doesn't have to stop halfway through his ninth grade for lack of funds. Young boys and girls are getting chances to work to help provide for their families. At the same time promoting pride in their community by cleaning up the area where they live. When a man steps on a nail, working hard for the Lord, you make it possible for him to get the tetanus shot he never would have gotten otherwise. A family of 6 isn't thrown out of their home because they can't pay rent. Three children left home alone when their Mom had gone who knows where, can get food and have support. What you do changes the world. It changes Mirmonde's world, and Hobenson, and Lovemita, and hundreds of hearts that you may never get to see, and it shines God's love to a very dark area. Thank you for what you have done for these people. And thank you for what you have done for me. I hope you all know how much I love and appreciate you.
