Earlier this week I posted about my friend Rob and his children and the help they need. I wanted to update all of you...and let you know the seriousness of the situation.

Rob and his children spent the day with our family for a Thanksgiving weekend celebration. It was at this time, later into the evening that we realized the gravity of the situation.

Once again his power (and heat) has been shut off, and he will not have any income coming in until after the first of the year (he works a part-time seasonal job and there are no hours available.
He has been applying for assistance and looking for additional work, but he has had little to no success.

Friends...I am asking you once again to help. Rob is trying to re-build his life for his children, get onto the path that we lead to a meaningful life for them.

They can not get started without some help...lots of it. My wife and I are doing what we can, but honestly we cannot do it alone.

I am going to directly ask....we need financial donations to help them get the following:
1. A new place to live (preferably a 2-3 bedroom apt that is not falling apart)
2. Caught up on their electric/heating so they can have power and heat
3. a stable job with income that can at least cover their bills

Yes I know there are thousands of others that need help...but this is my friend...someone that is dear to our family.

I need help coordinating some sort of a fundraiser for them in the next few weeks, plus the obvious financial contributions to get the ball rolling for them NOW.

This is a tough season to be asking for help, with so many organizations looking for help.

I have faith in the power of social media and the hearts of others. Please please please help Rob and his children

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
