Dinner & A Movie
Making hope tangible for homeless youth and impoverished families.
Last Friday, was a busy day at D&M. We started off by celebrating Easter with a brunch. The kids enjoyed dying eggs, participating in an egg hunt and each received a basket. Unfortunately, in the midst of all this joy one of our young moms was suffering from extreme depression. In December, Rylie was diagnosed with a chronic illness. It is rare and painful. Since then she has not received any treatments that have helped. She is the single mother of a 6 year old boy. The continued pain is taking its toll. On top of this the one year anniversary of her father’s death just past adding to her emotional pain. Though we cannot fix her illness or bring her dad back. We are there to listen, counsel and support her. We are her family.
In addition to all this we had one young mother deliver a healthy baby boy. She and her boyfriend made the tough decision to put their son with an adoptive family. This decision brought a great deal of turmoil and sorrow to their hearts. They too needed our emotional support.
In these tough economic times D&M is running on empty. We need your help to continue to support these families and so many more. Please make it possible for D&M to continue help those in your community who are in so much need.
