Senseless Injustice to our own Lighthouse Mission
I originally intended to write an article, asking for
donations of 26 inch bicycles for the Lighthouse mission, but a senseless act
of vandalism changed the course of this article!
The lighthouse Mission distributes free food to 3,000 people
every week, but in addition, also provides the local youth with quality social
activities, as well as a Christian religious education.
Kids and young adults are escorted from local homeless
shelters and are invited to participate in basic activities that every youth
should experience! The Lighthouse Mission (LM) sponsors, bicycle trips, sailing lessons, Kayaking excursions, trail biking,
educational racing car seminars, camping trips, and also helps kids and young
adults with their homework, after school!
This wonderful organization helps hundreds of children,
young adults, and adults survive in this hostile environment! Most of the
families that are helped by the LM are people just like you and I! I was
fortunate enough, not to lose my job when we had the economic down-turn… Most
of the people and families that are now in the shelters, never recovered, and
were not able to get jobs that are good enough to support a family!
As a reward for the unprecedented services the Lighthouse
Mission has provided to our community, someone sneaked onto the LM property in
the dead of the night, and broke the windows and slashed the tires on one or
more of the trucks that are used to deliver food to the needy! What kind of
person would do this?
We as a community must individually stand up and support the
Lighthouse Mission, by helping them in any way that we can! They are currently
low on un-cooked food, and now need car windows and tires, in order to continue
their service to the needy! Yes the youths would still love to have new 26 inch
bicycles! Every youth deserves to have a bike!
The lighthouse Mission is not government funded and operates
entirely on donations. If you can
