Mat to Mattress for Widow Lucy Jar

/ 0 Comments

Grandma Lucy Jar was blessed to move from her hard concrete floor into a comfortable bed this week!  This marked 56 widows that Provision of Hope has provided new beds for, since we started this program several years ago.  Along with the new bed we supply a quality mattress, new pillows, sheets, a warm comforter, flooring, a mosquito net, a bedside table and a big bag of rice.  At times we repair roof leaks, or a new door and lock, if needed.  Seeing our widows get off the floor into a cozy bed always warms my heart!
