The following are a couple of testimonies from one of the counselors where we have helped the kids:
I helped one of our 4th grader’s family out with some gift cards from Target and Crest at the end of the school year. His Mom had battled terminal colon cancer the entire school year and passed away just before school was out. It was uncertain where he would go and grandma wasn’t sure she could keep him and raise him. He may have to move in with an uncle. We are hoping he can stay at Central because he has a close relationship with myself and our assistant principal. The gift cards were greatly appreciated!!
Also I had another single mom who had been working and caring for her kiddos just fine until she got laid off…her car was repossessed overnight with all of their stuff in it – including her son’s backpack. She was beside herself and did not have any extended family to help. She was in the front office several times crying her eyes out. I provided them with both Target and Crest gift cards – she just burst into tears and was so grateful!!
It is all about Agape Love!
