This morning, I sent out a cry for help via Twitter and Facebook ::<\/p>\n

Close friend found out home will be foreclosed on Nov 1. Wonder if 450 peeps would donate $10 to cover their deficit…<\/p>\n

Need 450 peeps to donate $10 to help friends from losing their house :: http:\/\/bit.ly\/55Ilf<\/a> \/\/ Please RT<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nSeveral people jumped right on board and made donations, others wanted a little more information (which is understandable).<\/p>\n

The family we’re hoping to help is involved in our small group. They told me about their deficit simply as a prayer request, not asking for financial help —<\/p>\n

But the thing is, we GET to carry each other and we’re ALL in this together.<\/p>\n

So, while prayer is great (and I strongly encourage it) I hope that folks can take a step of action and give up a couple Mochas from St. Arbucks this week, or maybe a fast food lunch or two to help these dear friends out.<\/p>\n

The family is actually $9,000 behind on their mortgage after the economy fell into the crapper and the husband had to close his business.<\/p>\n

He’s now working for a couple different fire departments while the wife is finishing nursing school and working nights two or three times a week at a local hospital. They have three young kids.<\/p>\n

They’re pretty certain they can get $4,500 together by the first of November, but they’ll need to sell their car and pull money from their retirement fund for any hopes to get the rest.<\/p>\n

So I’m hoping you can pitch in and join with us to help this family. $4,500 seems like a lot but $10 is nothing.<\/p>\n

If you can help out, please visit: http:\/\/bit.ly\/55Ilf<\/a> to donate online, or drop me an e-mail if you’d prefer to donate via check.<\/p>\n

We’re ALL in this TOGETHER. I hope you’ll seriously consider what you can do to help out.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
