I am so beyond thankful for all the people who have donated money or time, written articles or posed on Facebook, helped with fundraising, or just listened to me lament the lengthy and super-expensive process of getting a new wheelchair-accessible van. I am touched by the many offersof rides, and for the Hampton's being about to get me back and forth to work the last few weeks. Looks like I'll be getting my van the first part of December! Thank you again! Josie Mardis

"Rebuilding, Restoring, Renewing Puerto Rico" seeks to raise $1 million within the next three to six months through One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) to support rebuilding the homes, churches and lives of our brothers and sister in Christ.
Please give generously. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a big difference for our Puerto Rican American Baptist family. Last year, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that close to half of the population in Puerto Rico was living in poverty.
Donations may be made via your church; via credit cardonlineor via a check designated to "OGHS-Puerto Rico" and mailed to the attention of Kim Wilkins at American Baptist Home Mission Societies, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA, 19482-0851.
One hundred percent of donations go to relief efforts; no dollars are retained for administrative costs. To ensure that your church receives credit for your gift, write the church name on your check or, if giving online, in the "comment" box.
