CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

Dear Friend,
Have
you ever wanted something so much that you think about it all
the time? You
do everything you can to obtain it, and when you finally get it,
the feeling of excitement is overwhelming.
This is
a daily reality for many of our residents at Grandview Christian
Home. These men and women have worked hard all of their lives
to raise families and contribute to the quality of life that we
enjoy today. But time has eroded their life savings, taken their
loved ones, and left them with few people if anyone to turn to.
Imagine
needing something as simple as a cup holder for your wheelchair
or a dress so that you can attend church again. But no matter
what you do, you will never be able to get it. You have no money,
you can't get on the bus or drive and you have no family support.
Something as simple as a new sweater is completely out of your
reach.
Several
years ago Grandview began raising money for just this kind of
need, and because of the generosity of friend's like you, we are
able to help many of those who have outlived their life's savings.
Recently
we provided a private room to a resident who for years had only
dreamed that she could ever have her own private space again.
You can't imagine the look on her face when the social worker
told her that she would be moving to her own room! (For more
than ten years she had no option but to share a room smaller than
most of todays master bedroom suites.) Just think, now she
could stay up and read as
late as she wants, or entertain guests without distrubing a roommate.
To us, these may seem like simple desires that are easily met.
But without the help of concerned friends like you, it is only
a dream.
These
simple dreams are humbling for all of us, expecially when you
see the look on a residents' face when the dream comes true. You
can help make dreams come true for our residents by making a financial
contribution to Grandview's Benevolence Fund today.
Your gift
of $10, $20 or $50.00 (even more if you can) will help
insure that each of the men and women who live at Grandview will
continue having their needs met, regardless of their ability to
pay.
Thanks
again for your friendship. We appreciate you and I know that God
does too. God
is using the special friends of Grandview to help make a difference
in the lives of our residents!
Sincerely,
Greg Carlson
Chief Executive Officer
