When there is no honey!

One mom wrote to us, "Fence repair, gate repair, three doors painted, new screens in 5 windows, and securing the dishwasher that was installed incorrectly. I am a single mother of 5, working full-time, and going to full-time graduate school. My plate is full and overflowing, and my budget is lacking for home repairs. 

It was an incredible blessing to have a team come to help me with my "honey do" list that never seems to get done since, well, there is no honey. It can be a heavy burden to carry the load that should be split between two parents.

The experience of having others come alongside and share the burden was incredible and lifted my spirit and encouraged my heart.  

It was good for my kids to witness other men and women stepping in and helping so they see that there are people out there who demonstrate compassion and selflessness. I tell them that caring for others is important, but for them to experience it is important and I pray that this experience will help them to learn the gift of lending a hand to someone in need some day."

After renting office and warehouse space for 13 years, the timing was right to make this move and purchase a building to headquarter all operations in one location to accommodate office staff, volunteers, clients, materials, equipment, and tools.

It was a great evening of celebrating and visiting with new and old friends. There is so much more to this story but that's for another edition of BTG news. Funding is still needed to help us move forward in our goals of increasing efficiency and productivity, equity in building investment and paying down our loan.
