From Numbers to Names

Indeed, we accomplished a lot last Monday.  Thank you to the staff at Forest Hills the tee sign creators, our embroidery friends, Golfers and Caddies, and to all of our amazing donors and volunteers--you have all given so much.  Together, we have accumulated a large amount of deeds, gifts and love that just can't be calculated, and for this we praise our God who is the giver of all good things.

Here's what we can count:

  24 GOLFERS: Not including a handful of fudging caddies who actually played because it is, as we all know, torture to be on the course all day and not actually play.

→  23 CADDIES

→  240 HOURS OF GOLF PLAYED

→  12,004 STROKES

→  1 HOLE-IN-ONE: Courtesy of Todd Gifford (Show off)

→  92 ADVILS CONSUMED

→  219.2 MILES COVERED

→  28,000 FUNDS RAISED...and counting

Collectively your NUMBERS will cover several weeks of rehabilitative care to restore the NAMES of 12 girls.  Care will include: initial intake costs, housing, security, healthcare, counseling, clothing, transportation, education and legal services.  Please be expecting an update soon once we receive our first home full of girls.

We commend each and every one of you for the sacrifices made for the sake of others. 

"The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself." Prov. 11:25
