Throughout the year
Marshdale General Store
collects change and donations from the community and selects a local non-profit to benefit. This year, we were able to receive the money and pass it along to one of our very deserving families. Here is their story 💕
Sandy, James and their 2 year old son Zeeke are a family who have been involved with Mountain Resource Center’s parent education services since their son was born. They came to Parents as Teachers wanting to do everything right. And they are! Zeeke is growing up a happy boy with two loving parents who provide a loving and caring home for Zeeke. However, it hasn’t been as easy as that.
James struggles with diabetes. He is able to work, though is often on the road for several days each month, leaving Sandy to keep their humble home warm with the fire. She keeps space heaters on the pipes, as they are partially exposed under the house. Young Zeeke had some concerns with his hearing early on that has led to language delays, and trips to doctors frequently deplete Sandy’s gas budget and take much of her time and energy. Thanks to the job James has had for the last two years, the family has been able to begin paying toward debt that had been accrued as they set up their household.
