Three years ago, Samuel called Love INC for help with his electric bill. He had six major surgeries along with infections and complications. Samuel was unable to work for three and a half years and was struggling to keep up with his bills. He had already lived one winter without gas by using electric heaters which escalated his electric bill beyond what he could afford. Samuel’s electricity was in disconnection and he called Love INC for help. Love INC partnered with a local Catholic church to pay down his electric bill so he could be reconnected.

Earlier this month, Samuel made a large donation to Love INC with this note:

“Some time ago my finances were in disarray. You helped me by paying a portion of my electric bill. Now that my finances are back in order, I can afford to give back. I am sure this will help someone else.”

We are grateful to hear from Samuel that he is doing well and in a stronger financial position. More importantly, we are grateful for his generous spirit and this full circle story of hope. We pray for each and every client that the gifts from our donors bridge the gap for them in their hardest time, moving them closer to financial stability and the kind of generosity Samuel has shown. But the ultimate goal is to point Cuyahoga County residents to Christ – and we’re grateful to have Samuel partnering with us in that mission.
