April 12, 2011 Wheelchair Giveaway In INHFA

I received a telephone call from INHFA and they asked for a wheelchair for this lady...

So, my mom and dad and Yvonne Hopkins who are visiting went with me and gave away the wheelchair... She was really happy!

He put on a serious face for the photo but he was really pleased with the new wheelchair.  He must have said "Thank you" at least 20 times.

This young man showed up with a police escort... and the policeman helped reposition the foot plate for him.

We ask each patient or a family member to write a Thank You note to Free Wheelchair Mission for sending the wheelchair to them.

March 2, 2011 Today I Was Blessed To Be Able To Give Away A Wheelchair

This precious girl desperately needed a wheelchair.  Her mom carried here everywhere draped over her arms.  I am so thankful that Free Wheelchair Mission has donated the chairs to me to give away.

February 10, 2011 Casa de Oracion Pinto Bean Giveaway

Occasionally I am blessed with a container load of food... This time it was my church which was blessed, but they allowed me to help find good hungry homes for some of the food.


There is a saying in Honduras that goes, "When the USA sneezes, Honduras gets a cold."  So when the USA went into the depression which they are in, Honduras went into a deeper depression.

There is a small church in a poor area of Tegucigalpa which I have the privileged of working with occasionally.  I know because of the dynamics of the area, they need food.

So when these beans came in, I called Dennis Gomez, on the left and asked him if they needed any beans to give to the poor.

He said that, "beans would be a huge blessing!"

 It took him several days to borrow a truck to take the beans to his church.

 Then leaders and volunteers from his church repackaged the beans into 5 pound bags for the community.

Here they are standing with 3 of the many bags which they received.

  

  It takes a lot of time and energy to repackage 400 pounds of beans.

The children lined up waiting for their beans.

You and I cannot imagine standing in line for hours for a sack of beans, but this sack of beans costs 1/2 a days wages and the people were thrilled to have them.
