Dear Editor,

Yes, we feel truly blessed in our family. Sometimes everything seems to be going okay and then circumstances present themselves that cause hardship and financial stress, which is what happened to us.

A special blessing for us was meeting Ms. Doris Gathings with H.O.P.E. Community Resource Center. With her financial and spiritual guidance, help, and support, we were able to get back on our feet. With Ms. Doris’ help, I was also able to get a part-time job with the H.O.P.E. Center, through Experience Works, an organization which helps people over 55 to reenter the work force.

I now know from personal experience what a valuable asset H.O.P.E. Center, a non-profit organization is to the community, which needs continuing and additional funding to help people get on their feet and give them hope.

Thanks to the community churches, community foundations and individuals who have helped support H.O.P.E. Community Resource Center, also to our family and friends that have assisted us during this stressful time. We still have a way to go, but we will continue in faith and hope.

God Bess All!
