How UMMAM has helped...
Karen came to the Care Center
with her mother. She was wearing completely worn out sandals. All
through the summer she used the same sandals. She even had to tape
them together with duct tape a few times to keep them from falling
apart.
Now that school is starting
her mother had no money to purchase new shoes for Karen. With
our Helping Hand Fund we bought Karen some shoes and a few new
shirts so that she could start the school year off feeling excited
and like the other children.
Just to see Karen’s
big smile and see her eyes light up was thanks enough. But to
see the relief on her mother's face and the gratefulness she
felt was priceless!

For several
years now, the Johnson United Methodist Women have collected
and donated school materials for us to give out. Each year
it is such a joy to see children's faces light up as we hand
them a neat school bag filled with scissors, pencils, pens,
erasers, rulers, tissue, crayons and writing paper. The families
are so grateful for this kind deed.
