Hello GCC fam (and beyond), after the horrific shooting death of 6-year-old R.S. Payne student last week, the Lord opened doors to really start building some relationships between the church and the school. We are really grateful for that. The R.S. Payne staff works tirelessly to support families at the school, but with limited resources. A staff member reached out to us on Friday asking if we would be able to come along side a family at the school who is facing homelessness. Due to illness, the mom (the primary source of income) lost her job. Her husband suffers from PTSD. They are behind on electric, rent, and soon their car payment. They have three kids, one of whom is at R.S. Payne. She lost her job last Thursday and mom immediately scrambled to start work with Instant cart and has applied to fast food restaurants and other places to try to make ends meet, even tho being on her feet all day might land her back in the hospital, due to health conditions. She is very stressed and overwhelmed and states she feels "like we are drowning." She has gone to non-profits who assist with bills, however, she does not have a long enough unemployment history to qualify. Can we come along side the family in this time of crisis? Is anyone interested in building a relationship with this family? Because amount is so high, we have broken it into several categories but the totals are $1220 for rent (late fee coming soon tho, so this will increase), $600 for car and and $321 for electric for a total of $2,141. Contribute in whatever amounts you're able. Thank you for praying for them.
