COMMUNITY UPDATE - Fire Response

In July, we were forced once again to share the news of a FIRE that raged through a neighborhood adjacent to two of our schools – Community Pillars and MobJap. If you missed our e-blast, the damage was extensive and devastating. More than thirty families lost everything. None of these families have a safety net. No place to go, and nothing to fall back on. In addition to the loss of home and personal possessions, one of our schools (MobJap) suffered damage to three classrooms and two office spaces. 

By grace and your generosity, CT was able to respond quickly.  Within 48 hours, we had provided families with mattresses, bedding, kitchenware and food staples. In the same time frame, we released funds to repair the damage at the MobJap school. So to all of you, I want to say thank you for allowing us to make a difference in the midst of tragedy.  Sadly, families are still trying to rebuild their lives.  

For those who are so moved, please consider an immediate gift to replenish our Emergency Relief Fund.  Time and time again, your support has restored dignity and generated hope.  Yet, we have learned from experience that the next fire or natural disaster could be imminent. Thanks for helping us to be ready!
