Over $2,500 Raised For Colorado Family In Need

For the past 6 days we have been raising funds to help Avalon Dewitt and her family in Colorado to try and keep them from being evicted from their home and facing homeless.  Avalon and her husband came to us asking for help nearly a week ago.  Her husband is self employed and has his own business, he does construction work and odd jobs working on peoples home and appliances. Due to the bad economy and also it being the winter season work there just has not been enough work to help pay the bills.  During the Spring, Summer and Fall season they are able to make enough money to make ends meet.  But this winter has been especially hard on them. 

So JMC Ministries started an online campaign to try and raise 2,300 dollars to pay their back rent, late fees, and also court costs. Through generous donations from us at JMC Ministries, people across the U.S and other Countries on Sunday January 30, 2011 we raised over 2,500 dollars for the family more than enough to keep them in their home.

We give all the praise to God for with out him none of this would have been possible.  When we first started this fundraiser we stated that we want you to pray about whether you should give to help before you make a decision and ask God what he wants you to do in this matter.  Many felt led to give and we are thankful that God is still working miracles today, for that is truly what this is.  In our own power we could NOT have raised this money only by the leading of the holy spirit and the Lords Guidance has this need been met. 

JMC Ministries is grateful to all those who have prayed, and given to help this family.  As we always say JMC Ministries (Jeremy and Miranda Caverley) are just 2 little people trying to make a difference one person at a time and one family at a time. 

Mother Teresa Said it best, "if you can't feed 100 people, then just feed one" and that is one of our life quotes for our Ministry.
