Mary's House just needs $558 to reach start goal

By Fran Neat

We're now so close! The total raised is now $39,442

We now need just $548. !!!

Thank you to Matt Baker of Flatwoods Diner for his suggestion of the $20 donation to his coffee cup for Mary's House. I just returned from picking up his second cup full of $150 for a total of $256. Thank you to all contributors at Flatwoods Diner!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are still so amazed at the outpouring of love and support from Adair Countians and our surrounding neighbors. It is as if you have "adopted" this precious family into your hearts and into your very own family.

For those of you who haven't had an opportunity to make your donation, you can be certain that it will be put to good use even if we go over the goal. Mary's House Committee would like to purchase new furniture for the house; and that, of course, will take extra money. May God continue to bless you as you bless others! - Fran Neat
