Many of the cases are elderly or disabled poor, or persons who are temporarily disabled by an accident or disease. Governmental and public care givers do not meet all of the needs in a crisis. Often there is only meager assistance from those sources, or none at all in some cases. For instance when a family has lost everything in a home fire, assistance from the Red Cross or other agencies seems only to cover the barest of essentials. Five days after the incident, the family is pretty much on their own.
Some persons still feel devastated.
The same is true when a person has been injured. Recently a self employed barber was temporarily disabled for three months in a bad automobile accident.

We hope individuals will get ideas to implement in their own communities, or tell us how their church is working in this area of Christian ministry. You are the light of the world.
