Vision 2014

We are dreaming BIG for 2014!! Meet Vickie Video! Meet our new Board Chair, Vickie, and hear her vision for Christian HELP in 2014 in this short video!   Vicky's Vision for 2014 Christmas Isn't Over Yet! One of our clients, a single mother of one, came to us after our Christmas program had already ended to get help this past holiday season. Trying to make ends meet, she was not able to provide for her son's only Christmas wish: a skateboard. Thanks to the generosity of our donors this Christmas, we had an abundance of gifts to distribute, and even had a few left over. Christian HELP was able to help this mother grant her child's wish with a brand new skateboard.  It looks like Christmas stuck around for a few extra weeks this year and the impact that our donors are making in the community is still happening! Sincerely, Jackie Normand Ministry Development Director Christian HELP (407) 834-4022 Send me an email!  P.S. Check out our Annual Report for 2013 here!
