“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” Matthew 1:23
Alexa couldn’t pay off the debt she’d accumulated and didn’t think anyone wanted to know or was able to help.
“I was in a really dark place...I thought I was the only person struggling...it stole my joy and peace with my mistakes all piled up beside me.”
“It felt safe enough to share, and I did not feel judged. I felt heard and very loved. I knew I wasn’t doing this alone anymore.”
Meet Alexa
Emira found herself trying to live on less than $50 a week while supporting her daughter and granddaughter.
“I had to borrow to make it through the week – we felt so desperate and isolated.”
“Finding out I’m not alone made things a little easier – like someone is holding my hand and leading me through it all.”
Meet Emira
Darren felt like he had nowhere to turn after his mom passed away.
“I had no one else and I didn’t know what I could do about the mountain of debt that was only growing.”
“I felt so much better – I had help making a plan for a place to stay and getting my situation to a better place.”
Meet Darren
Christmas is all about the gift of Immanuel - God With Us.
