On June 16th, we began a online fundraiser for a local Ohio family of 4. A young mother is in need of help to pay a over due electric bill of $449.22. She needs to have this bill paid in 10 days so that she can get moved into her new apartment. The reason she can't move in is because the Electric company won't allow her to move her and her children in to the new residence until this past bill is paid. The new apartment that is available for them is government housing and she has been on a waiting list for over a year to get this opportunity to have her own place and a home for her children. But if the past electric bill is not paid in 10 days she will lose her apartment and be placed back at the bottom of the waiting list and could wait another year before having a chance to get another apartment.

Within just a few hours of starting the online Fundraiser yesterday evening we raised $280.00
JMC Ministries is donating $100.00 plus covering the paypal fees from every donation given so the family will receive the full amounts. Along with this we received $60.00 in cash from an anonymous donor along with donations of $20.00 and $100.00 through donors on Paypal. And a local church has offered to pay the last $50.00 due when we have raised the rest of the money.
Then just a short while ago we received notice that we got another donation. We received a donation of $19.22 on paypal which now leaves us to raise exactly $100.00 to meet our goal to help this young mother and her children.
Below is a picture of our most recent donations
As we continue to get more donations we will update this blog and also post updated pictures at our JMC Ministries Facebook Fan Page at www.facebook.com/jmcministries
