Update on Donta's Family

Wow! I cannot believe the outpouring of support we have received for the Jarrell family. It's been absolutely amazing, and a true inspiration!

We are still taking weekly grocery deliveries over... Everything from pancake mix to canned vegetables, loaves of bread to brownie mixes. Since they only receive $300 in food stamps a month, this is a tremendous blessing for them.

We have paid off her phone bill and set it up so that her new monthly amount will be apx. $30. We are setting up a rent and utility fund that will help pay off her other bills, but this money is only accessible once she finds a new job. As soon as she can prove employment, we will pay her landlord for the next months rent.

Our goal is to help her get back on her feet and to a point where the bills aren't suffocating them to death. If you have any other ideas of ways we can help please let me know. Thanks again for showing so much compassion to this wonderful family.

I am going back over there today... Hopefully I can post a picture or two of Jaqueline and her boys this week!
