I think the thing that bothers me the most is how the children suffer when their parents go through a financial crisis. When a family is uprooted because of the loss of a home through eviction or foreclosure it may mean that the child has to change schools. It may also increase their stress because they feel what their parents are going through.
We have two clients who live in my area who are facing crisis and have expressed the toll it is taking on their children. The result is sometimes manifested in behavioral issues, other times it causes the child to withdraw socially. These issues are sometimes more than we are able to help with.
By helping individuals to find jobs and connecting them with other resources for additional needs, we can benefit the entire family. Christian HELP has been a refuge for so many people who are hurting because of the loss of a job or other circumstances that are too big for them to handle alone.
Please continue to keep us in prayer as we minister to those who are hurting. Just listening to someone can make a difference sometimes.
