Some of you may know what 40 days of community is through your church. If you do not, the basic premise is to break the church up from one body to many life group bodies. As such, the smaller groups will have a larger impact in the community.
The life group my wife and I belong to have chosen to make our impact on the communtiy by choosing to help Mercy's Door boys facility. These boys have strict disciplinary guide lines in order to be admitted. All are there because of family issues that were beyond there control. To find out more about the facility, visit http://mercysdoor.net and look for yourself.
They recently started this facility and currently have 6 boys from 13 to 17, if I recall correctly. They do receive funds from the State of Georgia., I believe $400/wk on a prepaid Visa. But it does not last long. Besides the boys they bring in, one family has three children of there own. So gassing up a 15 passenger van and food kills the funds quick.
We contacted them and some non-monetary items they would like to receive are a basketball goal, a couple new basketballs, other related items to keep these kids active, challenged, and occupied.
If you wish to make a donation of any value, monetarily or items, please pm me and we can work something out. Or, even better, they do have a link on their page.
Regardless, thanks for looking and acting in whatever manner you wish. Even if you are not a religious person by nature, these boys were in pretty messed up situations to be here.
