$50.00

It all started with $50.00. That's it. $50.00 and a nudge. I just updated www.avanforlucas.com with the latest donation update. As of today, we have raised $13,415.00. I was beginning to get discouraged because if this project was based on my timing, we would have completed it by now. The thing is this, A Van for Lucas isn't about completing anything. It is about reaching. Once the people who are supposed to be reached are reached, then the entire $40,000.00 will be raised. My definition of success has changed since taking on this project. I know that I don't have to have my hand it every aspect of this project for it to be a success. Actually, when I step back and let God work through A Van for Lucas, I see the most progress.

To those of you who have opened your heart to A Van for Lucas, we thank you. We love taking this journey with you. Stay tuned for more miracles!

Merry Christmas!

If you do it, do it now.....

Hello to all of those people who are on the journey of A Van for Lucas. It is a blessing to have you with us. The title of this post has to do with one thing....prayer.
A Van for Lucas needs your prayers for 2 specific things: 1) We have applied for a grant from a local family foundation and are awaiting the response. 2) I have contacted a local branch of Easter Seals to seek their support for our cause. I am awaiting their response, as well. Both forms of support could help us move closer to our goal of $40,000.00. So.....if you pray, pray now!
