OnRamp has been blessed beyond measure to play the role of Santa many times this past week. On Thursday, we donated yet another Toyota Corolla to Sierra, a local client who has waited so patiently for God to provide a reliable car for her and her family. Then on Friday, we headed to Brenham to donate another Corolla to a woman who has spent decades in the nursing and hospice fields, caring for patients at their most vulnerable moments. A car wreck left her in the hospital and without a vehicle. We were honored to gift this worthy woman a car that will empower her to continue her ministry to the sick and dying.
Sierra with Stephanie, our Operations Director, and Rami, our Head of Vehicle Acquisition. This ministry wouldn’t be possible without the two of them!
Next up, an accounting department at TAMU chose OnRamp to be the source of their Angel Tree giving! Here’s our office crammed with gifts for a dozen OnRamp families, bought, wrapped, and delivered by this generous group, all coordinated by Katherine McLelland, whose husband Austin helps manage Christian Brothers College Station and is, therefore, someone we get to work with all the time.
Finally, we found out that a local single mom of six kids didn’t have car seats for four of her kids, and couldn’t afford them. This could have led to serious injuries and a very big ticket if she got pulled over. Thanks to your generous donations (especially monthly giving) we rushed to Target and bought all the needed seats and delivered them that same day so she and her kids could drive safely wherever they needed to go.
As God taught us, this is a season for giving, especially to the vulnerable. We are so grateful to do this on your behalf!
As of today, all of the $25,000 in matching funds we mentioned a week ago has been matched! Thank you for that! We still have a ways to go on our Supercharge Your Impact campaign, and hope to raise another $150,000 in one time giving and $2000 in monthly giving before the New Year. Can you help us serve more families in the Brazos Valley with the tangible love of Christ? If so, please visit our GIVE page.
