Her gas is back on!

Hello!

I am truly trying to update this more often but we have just been so busy that I turn around and a week is gone!

We have been working on a project for a single mom with 5 children here in Ashburn. The mother, who is a friend of mine, fell and hurt her arm and could not work because of surgery on her injury. She got behind in her gas bill but always thought she would catch up. She called for help because the gas was turned off.

I so admire my friend's positive attitude and smiles. Even when they had no hot showers or meals she continued to smile and know God would provide and help her. She came to my house one night in the middle of it all and could still laugh. I love her spirit!

We put out an email for you all to be able to help and about 20 of you responded. Her gas was off for approximately 10 days. No heat, hot water or ability to cook. You all went into action and called the gas company and donated to help her get back on her feet. I was overwhelmed by the generosity and concern you all showed! She was too! She asked me to tell you the gas has been turned back on and thank you SO MUCH! We believe she will also have a credit on her account so she can catch her breath with her bills and life.

This is what L2F is all about. Helping each other out in our community. A big thank you to all who helped on this. We appreciate it!!!
