Filling a need

Imagine not having a car and trying to find employment. Go even further and imagine having a wife and child and not having a car. You need to take your child to the doctor. Or, you need to go to the store and buy some diapers or groceries. But, you can't do any of that. You have to call people and ask for rides. Some times those people can't come, so you are stuck.

That's life for more people than you might think. Thankfully there is one family who is no longer in that category. Bryan, Melissa and little Gregory now have a car thanks to the generosity of someone who donated a car to Love In Action.

We gave them the car on Wednesday. They were so excited and thankful. It's just hard for me to imagine not having a vehicle. That's a need most of us take for granted.

We have known Bryan for nearly two years. When we first met him he was homeless, but working. We helped him come out of the homeless population and later he moved and met Melissa. They got married and ended up moving back to the area.

They have a place to stay thanks to a church in Midland City. However, he has been unable to find work. He has applied for the few jobs that have come open in Midland City, but without a vehicle it's been tough to make it to Dothan and apply at more places. Now, he can.

Please keep them in your prayers and pray for a job to come through soon.

We have another family in need of a car. They have two children. If you know of anyone who could donate a car, please tell them about us. We are a non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
