“Thanks to The Needy Family Fund, when I had to go
the hospital and move because of my health, I knew the
electrical bill would be paid. Without their help I wouldn’t
have had the money I needed to get into the home I have
now. It was sucha relief to me to be able to move into a
new home with my family. It’s wonderful program for
those in need.”
