Story of Hope

  • Barbara and John, Story of Hope

Barbara and John’s Story

After decades of financial stability, Barbara and John have found things can change quickly. John underwent a serious ureter obstruction surgery. He continued to experience pain during a long and challenging recovery – and may have to live with pain for the rest of his life.

John, who owns a carpet cleaning business, has not been able to work since mid-May 2024 due to his pain. With the added strain of the holiday season, rising costs, and mounting bills, John and Barbara found themselves in a tough spot. That’s when Barbara remembered Love INC from her work supporting women in need during pregnancy.

Barbara said:

“Through God’s grace, mercy, and provision, God led me to Love INC… Thanks to continued support from Love INC, I have been able to avoid eviction and prevent the repossession of our car.

We are incredibly grateful for your partnership in making this possible. Your generosity has truly been a lifeline, and we thank God for you and your support. It is such a blessing to know a place like this exists to help those in a tough season of life!”

Together with your partnership and generosity, we can help neighbors like Barbara and John through challenging times.
