Bringing Joy

10-year supporter, Rider, and Board Member, Becky Abernathy, gives us a peek into one of the many ways Moveable Feast supporters go above and beyond for our clients this time of year. Below is an email update from her regarding the adopt-a-family efforts led by the CSC, GDIT, and Ascentia DECC Program Communications Team -- with extra support from Team Atomic.


Wrapped and Ready


I thought this picture might make you all smile. My coworkers and I just finished sorting and wrapping gifts for our families. The bags and two of the big boxes are full of groceries and toiletries. The other boxes are all gifts. (And more are coming tonight from some of my Team Atomic teammates!) We managed to get every gift on their wish lists and then some, plus at least one outfit, hats, gloves, and scarves for each of them. In addition, we've collected over $600 in Visa gift cards to divide between the families, which should help them out with the myriad expenses that pop up or other needs we couldn't meet.

I keep thinking about what Tom Mayer said at our board meeting the other night--that asking people to give is actually offering them an opportunity to grow. I guess that's why as people have been dropping these items off, they've been thanking me at the same time. Amazing.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I hope this helps bring some joy to these families; it certainly brought joy to us!  I hope you have a safe and wonderful Christmas, and a happy and prosperous new year.

XO,
Becky

My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases ... Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetis, Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,HPV,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lun,Fribroid,Infertility,Parkinson's disease,Inflammatory bowel disease ,Fibromyalgia, recover your ex.
