Urgent Need!
GCH currently transports 24 children to and from 3 different schools, with at least 5 round trips each day. In addition, we transport kids to doctor appointments, pick up supplies and transport local volunteers that help us run our homes. WE DO A LOT OF DRIVING!
THE URGENT NEED IS THIS -
Our current primary mode of GCH transportation is a 1980 Ford Econoline 15 passenger van that is in TERRIBLE condition. In this photo, you can see the seats are torn apart (making us and our kids sit on exposed springs), the passenger window is broken (making it very WET and COLD for our kids), part of the roof is falling off (a large piece fell on a kid), it's too small, and the electrical, fuel system, suspension, brakes, exhaust and engine are CONTINUALLY failing (leaving us stranded and without adequate transportation), the exhaust system leaks into the passenger area (making it unhealthy for our kids), ETC. (Can you tell we're a bit frustrated)?
THE SOLUTION -
George found a place that will sell us a 1999 diesel mini-bus (which holds 16), so our kids can be transported in a RELIABLE, water/weather proof, safe, DECENT vehicle. There would even be room to put the 15+ backpacks and for each kid to sit in a seat with a seatbelt... and they wouldn't have to breathe exhaust fumes or worry about getting wet or the roof falling on them. WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?
So, WHAT WILL IT TAKE? -
We need $12,000 - $14,000 to make it happen. Do you know someone who can help with part or all of this cost? PLEASE pray with us and help us put the word out about our need. We GREATLY appreciate your help!
