April's BIG GIVE

Dear Pastor Joel,

The fellowship has spread! Here is what we did with the money.

Gary, myself and Stephanie decided to pool our money together. Collectively we had $15.00. We have an elderly neighbor, D_____, who lives alone with only her dog Caesar for companionship. Caesar has been in dire need of a grooming for quite some time. The poor little guy couldn't see as the hair was covering his eyes, he had bathroom problems and stickers were being matted in his fur faster than we could bathe and brush him.
Gary and I could not pay to have the poor dog groomed and neither could our neighbor D______. She was devastated she could not care for the pet she loved.

We went straight from church to D____'s house and gave her the $15. I explained although it was only half of what she needed I wanted to help with the money entrusted with us from the church. She broke down in tears and made me cry too. They say animals can't show emotions, but I swear to the day I die that dog cried too over D_____'s happiness.

Shortly thereafter D____ was walking Caesar and another neighbor, N____, asked D_____ why she had tears in her eyes. D______ explained the gift. N______ then contributed the other half of the money needed and offered her a ride to the groomers.

D____ wants me to send you an overwhelming thank-you to Cornerstone! I believe we might see D_____ at church next week.

Sincerely, Jennifer
