Some of the people we helped in May
May 5: $350 was paid to Windsor Westbridge to help Tameka (35) and her 15-year-old son. She works at Haven Hospital making $18 per hour and her hours were reduced recently, just as unexpected expenses arose. She is a Certified Nursing Assistant, Anesthetician, and mental health caregiver. She has been told that her hours will be increased soon. She has started another job part-time as a caregiver.
May 22: Paid $288.80 to CoServe to help Chalaun (44) with her electricity bill. She works for CAF Management as a leasing consultant making $16 per hour. On top of her own living expenses, she helps her young adult daughter with school expenses at North Central Texas College. She told us she hasn’t had a cost-of-living raise in years and is struggling through these inflationary times. She is also helped by the Friendship House and other charities for food.
May 23: Tina (56), divorced with one adult child. She was laid off in April, 2023, from the US Small Business Administration where she worked as a Paralegal Specialist. She has a degree in radio broadcasting, is proficient with computers and has worked part time as a substitute teacher. She is seeking other employment.
May 24: $350 paid to Trinity Crossing to help David (54), unmarried with significant physical challenges. He has been trained in technical support by Texas Workforce Commission Training Academy. He has been working as a temporary Admin Assistant/Tech Support at Dallas Community College since April. His paycheck was not enough to cover his living expenses this month.
May 25: Paid Atmos Energy $259.68 to help Ms. Goldsmith (88). She is not computer literate. She lost her husband many years ago, and depends on her senior son for much that has to do with modern technology. Her gas bill went up unexpectedly. Fortunately, she is also being helped by Mary Immaculate Catholic Church.
Donations to John 3:16 that arrive by check or via the John 3:16 website are immediately used to help people in need. As many know, our clients are given a Resource List at the time of their appointment. When there are few or no funds available, there are dozens of callers who are emailed a Resource List showing names and telephone numbers of other charities who may or may not have funds available. We pray that, whether or not we can help these callers, someone somewhere can.
To give by check, make payable to John 3:16 and send it to John 3:16, P.O. Box 110702, Carrollton, TX 75011.
