Spencer Ave.

Last night God allowed me to go on a Red Cross DAT Team call. A garage fire that displaced a family from their home. Thanks for your prayers! God has put me back on the playlist. The Red Cross is a great group to work with. A family displaced by a fire needs time to reassemble their lives and figure out the basics, like where they are going to live and how are they going to eat now that most of their food is going to ruin. The local Red Cross provides a few days in a motel and groceries from a local grocery store. What a relief for the family! It was affirming to help provide food and shelter in a time of need. Additionally and maybe more importantly the members of the team let the family know that people that do not know them care about them.
