JULY MISSION
This year our July Mission will encompass Pine Ridge Reservation and the Flowing Hospital in New York City.
Although, we are not able to travel to the Pine Ridge Reservation we have ties to the reservation through Trisha Swift, the niece of Jerry and Carol Brown. We have supported Kevin Poor Bear every year with a donation to help with his heat and/or electric bills. Trisha oversees these payments as she helps the family. This year we learned that Kevin Poor Bear and his wife Josephine have taken in four foster children. Trisha through a post on her Facebook page, made a request for donations to help support these children. She said “I don’t know how long Kevin and Josephine will have these darlings, but please help me bring some joy to their lives”. So this year we will be making a donation to Kevin and his wife to help support the foster children.
Kevin and his wife are following the teachings of our Lord and Savior. (Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in”.)
Our other mission this month is the Floating Hospital. Our group (Glenda Ely, Shari Barondeau, Martha Denkenberger, Lois Evans, and Carol Brown) have made hundreds of dresses, pillowcases, and baby quilts for the homeless patients at The Floating Hospital. Also, we have been able to supply some quilts for homeless shelters in the area. They are so very grateful!
Recently Glenda, Martha and Carol Brown attended a fund raising Gala in NYC for The Hospital. It was a wonderful evening, full of joy. We met many of the employees at the facility, had an exquisite meal, and photos galore. The Lord’s work is truly being done there. Glenda and Carol had an informative discussion with Monica Morales. She is a remarkable woman who does media work for those in need. You can Goggle her and find out more. Carol Brown is having a Zoom meeting this week with some NYC folks to discuss our project, needs, etc. God has truly blessed us!
