Words cannot express what I am feeling right now....
I worked with GGA this past summer building a pre-school and we had the opportunity to go out one of the days that they were assessing families for the food parcel program. When I saw this picture of yours I knew immediately- this was one of the families that we had assessed to see if they could get a new home! It brings forward so many emotions, I wish I could see what it is like for them now to have a stable home to live in, and I couldn't be happier to know that they were accepted and able to receive a home. Thank you so much for your hard work, it means the world to me just to see the photos! God bless you and all those you worked with. I would love to talk with you and exchange stories.
Sincerely,
Lindsay
