Meet Tanya.

I want to tell you a story about my friend Tanya.

Tanya is a single mom with 6 kids who works full time as a homecare nurse for people struggling with various types of sickness.  Almost everytime we have a Laundry Love Project she brings loads and loads of laundry from her clients houses and takes the opportunity to get a few outfits washed for her kids in addition to the people she takes care of.

Today at the Laundry Love Project she made us aware of the fact that the dryer at her house broke down, leaving her with no option to wash her kids clothes other than spending money at the laundromat.

Well it just so happened that we had a dryer we were looking to donate to someone, and who better to give it to than a single mom with 6 kids who works full time taking care of others?

So thats exactly what we did. We picked up the dryer and delivered it to her house today. If that wasnt enough of a God thing, it turns out that a house me and a few friends spent time fixing up as part of a service project is the very same house that Tanya lives in. So not only did we catch her at a great time of need in her life today, but we had a past relationship with her and her family and didnt even realize it!

You should have seen the look on her face when we told her we were giving her that dryer, you would think we were giving her a million dollars from the excitement she had.

Praise God for this amazing story and for his divine timing. This is why we do the Laundry Love Project, because it gives us the chance to connect with real people and help them in significant ways. We are called to be agents of Gods grace and love, and thats exactly what we had the opportunity to do today.

I talked to Tanya and I want to gather some people to go help her clean up her yard and take care of her house since she doesnt have the time. If you would like to be apart of that let me know.

Thank you for believing in the Laundry Love Project and in Love Canton. It's real stories of love like this that are perfect examples of how God moves when his church is faithful to our calling to love in real, practical ways.
