Five vehicle donations to five local women in two days made this our biggest and most complex week of ministry ever! Five new clients now have the freedom to get to work, school, healthcare, and anywhere else life takes them. All five asked us to keep their names private, and four asked for their photos to stay private as well. But we captured the moments each received keys to their new-to-them cars. Two of these clients are single moms with young children, one nominated by her church and the other by a companion charity in town who said of her, “She rarely asks for help and tries to be self-sufficient in all ways possible. Mom has been able to maintain a full-time job and has a great work ethic. She is providing a good example for her daughter.” We were so impressed with both of these moms and their dedication to providing for their children.
The rest of the clients this week are three brave women who served TAMU in their home country of Afghanistan when it fell to the Taliban. Fortunately, they were rescued and brought here, but they are having to build their lives from scratch. OnRamp spent approximately a year helping them learn to drive and get their licenses. They are working hard and supporting themselves as well as sending significant money back to their families who were unable to get out of their country. That financial responsibility left all of them without sufficient money to purchase reliable vehicles. They’ve had to walk nearly everywhere. But God is GOOD! He provided the funds for us to purchase Toyota Scion Xb’s for each of them! They’re identical other than the color. We are so thankful to all of our volunteers and donors who made this extravagant gift possible. With your help, we were able to share the love of Jesus with these women through the tangible provision of a reliable vehicle!
Our inventory is down to just one vehicle left to donate… and yet we have nine approved and accepted clients awaiting vehicles, most of whom are single moms here in BCS. If you can help meet these needs as part of our Supercharge your Impact campaign, please visit our GIVE page and make a one-time or monthly donation.
