Save the Dinas from Foreclosure
I don’t usually share requests of this nature over my blog, but
this particular one has hit closer to home than most. Since my husband Kevin and I have experienced the tremendous stress of having unexpected, really
high medical bills, we have a great deal more compassion for others facing such hard times. Though we regularly
give to church, various charitable organizations, and help family and friends in
need, there was a time when we found ourselves struggling to pay the
bills.
I am still absolutely amazed at how people came together and were
there for us. I’m not sure how we would
have gotten through that tough time of surgeries, a parent’s funeral,
unemployment, and illness if we had not had people of faith to lift us up in
prayer and step in when we’d run out of physical, emotional, and/or spiritual
resources. Sometimes, we’re given a chance
to give back to people who are always giving so much of themselves. This is one of those times.
How Big Is a Mother’s Heart?
Sara is a pro-life advocate, mother of three daughters, and has
served as the Campaign Director for the 40 Days for Life in Alexandria for a
number of years. When Sara and her
family found out about a mother and daughter seeking refuge from a foreign
country where Christians are being persecuted, they welcomed them to stay and
live with them for a few months. On another
occasion, an African mother who was pregnant found out that their family is
pro-life. This woman with no knowledge
of English and no family or friends lived with the Dinas for a year.
My mom, a pro-life advocate, mother of three daughters, has served
as the Campaign Director for the 40 Days for Life in Richmond. When women in crisis and their children have
needed a safe place to stay, my mom has opened the doors to her home and
invited them in. Some people stayed for
a matter of days, others for weeks, some for many months.
Clearly some mothers have hearts that reach far beyond the love and
relationships in her own household. A nurturing wife, mother,
volunteer, Respect Life leader, pro-life advocate, and friend is a tremendous
blessing to her family as well as her community. Let’s do what we can to support these
remarkable mamas!
What can you do to help the Dina’s? They really need your prayer cover right now. Your financial support could also make a huge difference. For more info about the Dinas and their circumstances, and/or to donate, click here. There are only six days left for us to pitch in!
