Race and Reyna decided to go all out on this service. Race chose to buy stuff for foster children in Carmel. there is a house that houses 8 kids at a time and he raised money to go along with the $10 for church plus added some of his own. He was able to buy lots of toys for this family. Following is one of the e-mails we received back from the family that owns the house.
Dear Rhonda and Race,
Thanks so much for your deep hearts, and care for God's children. Every gift is appreciated, not only by the kids, but by God Himself! I believe he smiles when we do what he commands - to love and care for the orphans. I was so touched by the efforts of Race, in raising money to help the kids. I have put in a call to the foster mother at the Agape house, and asked her what the kids needed, that Race's efforts could supply. She is getting back to me within the next day, and was also very touched by your efforts. Just wanted you to know how special your story is to us, and we will let you know (very soon) what the kids need. Sincere thanks, and Blessings~
We hope to make the delivery this afternoon. Race was also able to get Target to donate a $20 gift card to buy some outdoor toys for the children.
Reyna wanted to help babies so raised money to buy a crib, get diapers, baby socks and baby blankets to donate to the Crisis Pregnancy Center. She was also able to get Target to donate $. what a thrill this has been for her!
This has been a real blessing for our own kids. what a blessing it has been as their parents to see how they want to help those in need! We were told by one couple that they, the kids, are the walking feet of Jesus! I have a feeling it will not stop here and is something they will want to continue to do throughout the summer and years to come!
Thanks for giving them this opportunity!
