“E” sat next to “S” when she noticed this mom too had a toddler the same age. As their bond in motherhood grew, so did their relationship. Walking life with anyone comes with challenges, but navigating past trauma is hard. This family recognized their need for friendship, stepped in and demonstrated the love of Christ through weekly Bible studies, play dates and family meals.
They purchased a vehicle from a tote the note lot and were on track to pay $37k for a $10k vehicle that was no longer drivable. The Salvage Yard was able to assess their situation, educate on relinquishing this vehicle and help them get into an affordable option. Our hope is that they feel that burden lifted, are now able to find a place of their own to live and grow as a family.
When a community can come together to advocate for, support, sponsor and/or raise funds to help in this vehicle process, the success rate is higher and goals attained.
We may be called The Salvage Yard, but we are not a salvage yard. Our name is the depiction of something broken, being cast aside, labeled junk and in need of redemption just as our sinfulness, our wicked hearts are in need of a Savior to make us whole again.
We have a responsibility to steward all that we are given, let us all strive to walk in obedience. It may not be what looks good to this world, but what is best for the Kingdom.
