Billie, a mother of two, recently received CarsINC's 20th car. Hers is an amazing story of how God brings together many hands to make his work light.
CarsINC worked with the Sparrows Nest program to get Billie her car. Billie would not have a car, home, job, and career goals today without the love and support from a network of generous Christians who made it all possible.
Sparrows Nest was created as an off-shoot from Christian Services. They identified a need to care for homeless mothers and children and discovered that mobile homes would be a more affordable way to fill that need. Through grants from the Granger Foundation and churches who purchased mobile homes, Sparrow’s Nest has been able to provide homes at Millpond Village mobile home park. At the same time, ministry teams from churches like River Terrace commit to 18-months of support that includes help with budgeting, parenting, transportation, and career advice. At the end of 18 months, mothers can buy the home for $10.
In Billie’s case, she was able to find work as a health aide helping a couple whose wife had a stroke. The husband was so grateful that his wife quickly bonded with Billie that he wants to support Billie in her goal to obtain her Certified Nursing Accreditation.
Billie's story shows that the work of many hands make “light (of Christ)” work. Her life would not be transformed without the help, donations, and prayers of so many. Thank you for your on-going support so that we can continue to help the many other Billie’s that are waiting for us.
