The inspiration and mission of Helping One Guy comes from the compassion and blessing of THE GOOD SAMARITAN: "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him." - Luke 10:34:34

“So much can change in our lives: our circumstances, the way people
treat us, our health, and even our feelings can constantly change.
But God will never change. – Mona M. Hanna, The Nature of God

A BIG Little Extra Surprise for
Jose Martinez!
Many of you remember that back on August 11th, HOG was able to honor Jose Martinez, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, with our first-ever "VIRTUAL POWER HOUR" on ZOOM and streamed on Facebook LIVE to raise funds.
Well, near the end of August, Bob uncovered another check that was designated for Jose money and was able to give him $475.00 additional funds! Bob presented Jose with a 2nd check to help with his medical bills.
HOPE the HOG is so pleased to report that Jose Tuesday combined with all donations for Jose amounted to over $7,100.00! How awesome is God!!!
Thank you again, to our generous donors, who didn't let COVID-19 stop the mission of Helping One Guy!

VIRTUAL Christmas with Santa Coming on Dec. 5th! |
"Virtual" is different than what we normally do,
but we can still make it FUN...the HOG way!
Friends, fear not...because here at Helping One Guy we never give up...especially when it comes to kids...and especially during the holidays!
In place of our usual "Breakfast with Santa", we will have a CALL-IN to SANTA event via ZOOM and broadcast to Facebook Live (similar to what we did for Jose Tuesday's Power Hour!) Kids can call in and talk to Santa while big kids (we adults ;) have the opportunity to benefit Horizon Field in Acworth. This is a baseball league for special needs kids and adults, coached by HOG friend and community outreach specialist, Coach Casey Weatherford.
Casey, a cancer survivor, says that Horizon Field is where his heart is. He says, "I love kids, and love being part of the Horizon League. Special needs kids are always so cheerful and it just touches me."
Stay tuned for more information about HOG's Call-In to Santa. It's going to be so much fun...and a wonderful, inspiring memory to make with your little ones during this coming Christmas season.

How does it work? Helping One Guy (HOG) hosts dinners and other fundraising events usually at Northstar Church or at other venues in the Marietta/Kennesaw area, to honor men and women and their families who are experiencing the most challenging crisis of their lives.
Examples of their crisis could be a terminal illness, loss of an immediate family member, or some other non-material tragedy. The HOG Dinner is a time to show support and encouragement to each recipient and their family.

These are some of our many generous and dedicated sponsors. We hope you will join them in support of Helping One Guy. God Bless! |
