EMERGENCY REQUEST: The Day Care van is in need of some very serious repairs and
they desperately need donations to pay for them. One expense is to replace
the spare tire and cord used to hold it in place. The cord was cut and the tire stolen from
the van while sitting in the parking lot.
That alone is $500. Another
repair is to the doors on the van that do not open easily enough, which is a
serious safety issue. They estimate
total repairs to cost $1500. Any donations
would be greatly appreciated. Make
checks payable to FUM Day Care and either put it in the offering plate, send
it to the church, attn. Day Care, or drop it off at the office. Thank you!!! |
