The Dollar Club

Missy found out yesterday that our church, Southland Christian, has decided to give her the weekly donation from the Dollar Club. Each week everyone puts an extra dollar in the offering on top of what they would normally give. Then Southland takes that weeks attendance, and gives that dollar amount to a person or family in need in the community (sometimes it is split between multiple families, we are not sure if that is the case this week or not). It is to help pay medical bills or cover the cost of living to help people get through a hard time in their lives. Well, Missy's best friend Mandy nominated her, and Southland decided she was this weeks person in need.

We are blown away by this gift. So incredibly grateful to God for providing for her. She is so surrounded by love during such a dark and difficult time. Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts, prayers and support. We cannot tell you how much this means to Missy. This along with all your donations and fund raisers have helped to take the strain of finances off her shoulders, which is perfect. Money is the last thing we want her worrying about.

Thank you to Mandy for nominating Missy and thank you to all the members of Southland for supporting such an amazing program. It is making a huge difference. We are so grateful.
