Tarek & Susanna's Giving Story ~
We have been praying about where to give our I TImothy money, then realized the answer has been right in front of me.
The kids who attend Ozark Guidance school program in Rogers have sad backgrounds. They have either been kicked out of public school for bad behavior, have autism, have mental problems from abuse, or they are living in foster homes. These kids don't always own regular hygiene products, or even have warm socks to wear. So with the money given plus a little more we are able to supply the 30 students with basic toiletry items and some warm socks. It is really humbling to see a child get excited about a "snoopy toothbrush" that costs only 50 cents. 95% or more of the kids at the center are boys, so we gave them legos as toys. They were really excited about those. This has been a very humbling experience and helped our family put things in the right perspective about the true meaning of CHRISTmas
