Comments from Our Neighbors

A few women from the Building Hope Craft Class, held at the end of 2018, commented on their experience.  
 
Janet said,“Love INC has been wonderful, kind, friendly and the class was relaxing fun and terrific. The group had a great time.  The village buildings came out so good, and I can’t believe I did that!”  
 
Adala said that she enjoyed the great conversation at the Craft Class.  She also commented about the Building Hope classes in general, “I loved it. I learned to better manage my money and how to better get along with people.”   
 
Both of these women, who attended all weeks of the Building Hope class, enjoyed and appreciated the classes and all they learned while having fun.  They especially appreciated the rides to and from the class that enabled them to attend.  
 
Beverly, who also attended the Craft Class, commented, “I really enjoyed the Craft Class. It was relaxing and would like to take more classes like that. I put sparkles on the village and it really looks festive and brightens up her room. Looking at it makes me happy.”

A volunteer at the Clearinghouse called to check in with someone we hadn’t heard from in a while.  After hearing about her life and the difficulties she has been having, the volunteer prayed with her.  In appreciation of the prayer, our friend said, “That’s the best thing that will happen to me today.”

Comments about the Delivery Volunteers:

“The lady and gentleman who delivered were very nice to the family.  They prayed for my family and we are so grateful for everything.”

A couple of friends let us know they were “so grateful” for the sofas delivered to their homes.  One said she was “so delighted with the delivery”, and the other said the delivery folks had a hard time getting the sofa into the apartment, so they wanted to call and express their happiness for that sofa!

 

“I so appreciate the guy who always delivers personal care to me.  I am so glad when he comes and especially when he prays with me.”

“The linens that were delivered were just the right color!  I was so grateful for those who provided the bedding and those who delivered.”
