Restoring Hope
For a Young Woman Who has Lost Faith
So, I asked her,
"Are you a person of Faith?"
She told me that she did believe in God, but, that she thought He had left her when she was a teenager. She went on to explain why, and that she just could not believe that God could love her if He let her fall prey to such a great betrayal of an adult to a child.
I reminded her about her accomplishments and that she had to have GREAT INNER STRENGTH to get to where she was- her life moving forward.
I felt that I could not let her leave my office feeling so personally void and I could not let her leave feeling that God abandoned her.
Loss of Empoyment Leads to Homelessness
They were over joyed, to have a home, to have heat and running water, to have bedrooms and a place where the children can play on the floor and just be safe; they finally had a HOME.
Your Financial Support has a Personal Impact and
YOUR HELP MADE A DIFFERENCE HERE!!!

The Process...
Each person or family who requests help from MY NEIGHBOR starts with an INITIAL PRE-ASSESSMENT to determine the most efficient and effective way to help you in your crisis.This process typically STARTS over the phone or thru other communication sources if a phone is not available.
If it is determined that the My Neighbor program is a able to financially assist, the Requester goes through an IN-PERSON in-depth assessment process to determine a plan of action with LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS.
My Neighbor will help to solve the immediate need or crisis by offering Information and Referral Resources with possible Financial support, when NO other service or solution exist, and when we have funds available.
Our Missions is to help our commuity members who are hard working and other wise self sufficient, but are in crisis and budget difficulty when their paycheck is not enough.
