Girl's Club
One of the greatest impact stories form the LGC includes a local family
of 8 children being raised by a single father. The ages of the children
range from 3 years old to 17 years old. The family came to the
attention of one of the LGC staff members and she found out that the
family would be losing their home in less than a month.
The father had
recently lost his job, there was very little food for 8 children and
there was no where to go for this family. The staff person at the LGC
took it upon herself to help this family in whatever ways possible. She
went through several local social service agencies to see where help
could be found and she was able to find the dad a job with the City of
Bedford. She found this family of 9 an income based apartment, got the
beds, furniture, appliances, clothes, and everything they needed to
move into a new apartment and a new life.
Two of the small girls are
enjoying their time at the LGC each evening in our after school
program. They were also given dental and eye care, as seven of the
eight were in need of glasses. Folks through out the community gave
generously to this family’s cause and we are very proud to say they are
doing great!
