Special Medical Equipment for a Special Girl in Need

Gerardo, a single Dad in the Community comes to the Mission every month to pick up a food box for himself and his 3 daughters. Last week he came to pick up his regular food box, but this time he came with an extra need.

Gerardo needed a wheelchair and a walker for his 10 year old daughter Teresa. Teresa has cerebral damage which affects her motor skills and speech. Gerardo had been struggling to find this equipment and wasn’t in a position to purchase them. His last recourse was coming to Community Ministries at Gospel Rescue Mission .

According to GRM Community Ministries Director, Suzanne Williams, “We don’t regularly receive these types of medical equipment donations to meet these “specials needs. We almost had to tell him that we don’t have it” (a phrase we hate to say at Community Ministries).

But, once again God made a “Miracle” to provide.

One of our Staff members remembered the medical equipment that was used by a former Women and Children’s Center volunteer, Cindy Clark. Cindy had recently passed on to be with our Lord. The Mission contacted Cindy’s family and found out that the family was wanting to bless “someone with a special need” to give them the equipment.

After explaining Teresa’s need to the family, they were more than willing to donate it to GRM to pass along to Teresa. Thanks to this donation we were able to provide the equipment Teresa needed to better her quality of life. 

Everyday we see how God blesses a community member, other ministries, social sercive agencies, and churches using our GRM Community Ministries. We are a pass through, “connecting people who care to help with people who need care and help”. What a Blessing all around.
