Wednesday Warm Fuzzies 3

A family had to admit their young daughter into a state mental hospital. They visit her on weekends and attend classes to learn to cope, understand, and handle the behavior of their daughter. It is their goal to learn as much as possible about her problem and the techniques they should use to help her in order to provide the best home environment. They request prayer for themselves, their daughter, and the doctors.

One of the families we serve is close to the end of their time within our transitional housing program. The parents’ combined income wasn’t enough to allow them to be self sufficient, but last month, the mom secured full-time hours at her current employer. This will allow them to become self-sufficient prior to the end of their time with us! The parents want to purchase a house so that they can have an inheritance to leave their children. Currently, they are looking for properties that would allow the mortgage to be affordable for them.

A single dad completed the forklift training class in order to become a certified forklift driver!

I had the privilege of sharing Christ with a client on our January home visit. Keep praying for him. Right now, he wants his daughter to grow up in a church but does not see the need in his own life.

After a long struggle, one of our single mothers has adjusted to working fulltime. It has been difficult for her to complete her task at work in the allotted time and as a result she has had to work late into the evening. She has now learned how to effectively manage her time and for the first time since she came into the program, she is able to watch her children’s basketball games. I am thrilled that she has made it a goal to spend quality time with her children and is following through with that goal.

One of our newer clients received a scholarship to attend college. She is enrolled in basic classes and is doing very well. This has been a confidence booster for her and a great step towards self-sufficiency.
