Sharing Words of Hope

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for everything you have done for our community following Hurricane Isaias. This past week has been overwhelming and exhausting. Being without power, dealing with the heat, and trying to manage everything after the storm has taken a toll. Then 8 Days of Hope rolled into town, and your kindness truly felt like a blessing. You may never fully know what it means to people who are tired, overwhelmed, and trying to put their lives back together to have someone show up and say, in so many ways, “We are here, and you are not alone.” Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time, worked in the heat, prepared meals, handed out water, prayed with families, and offered encouragement. Your generosity and compassion have meant more to us than I can adequately express.

–Jodi Figley and Heath Wiggins, Hurricane Isaias Victim

Thank all of you so much for coming to help our communities in Oxford. When you see disasters like this on the news, you never think it could happen to you. It is more emotional and overwhelming than I ever imagined. I am happily overwhelmed though with the outpouring of love and support from people around the country like 8 days of Hope and other groups and individuals helping out of the kindness of their hearts and love of Jesus. Thank you again!

– Vicky Barbara Henly, Winter Storm Fern Victim

Eight Days Of Hope changed my life this summer. I received so much help around my house for so many wonderful people from so many states. They traveled all the way here to bless me and many others in Buffalo. I love you Eight Days Of Hope!

Eight Days of Hope has been a beacon of hope in Northwest Indiana this summer. First, y’all came to Merrillville to help with the devastation from the 6/11 tornado and then again to the wider area for the 8/11 tornado/derecho. Truly, gifts from God. Thank you for being generous with your time, your giving, your prayers, your love and your compassion. You are loved and oh so deeply appreciated.

– Brianne Coleman, Gary, IN Tornado Victim

I learned that angels sometimes appear in hard hats with chain saws and other equipment. Thank you for helping my daughter and son in law, as over twenty tall pine trees had fallen around their house. They (and all of our family) are so grateful for all of your help. Prayers for each of you.

– Patricia Lewis, Winter Storm Fern Victim
