Story From a Family Served

It’s a simple story — Our son, Allen thrives on “something to do” that will take him away from mom and dad for awhile. Typical teen! Although he is somewhat older than that, he still likes to get out and about, and go somewhere away from home so that he is glad to be “done for the day” and come home again. When Mr. COVID came to visit in March, and his activities shut down, he was like a little lost boy. “Nothing to do” can be hazardous when you live in town, and have the freedom to come and go (within boundaries, of course), so mom and dad, both of whom work in an office deemed essential, tried hard to give our son volunteer things to do to help around the office. That wasn’t enough to keep him busy during our working hours, and he gets bored with too much TV, and sleeps too much, which causes its’ own set of difficulties, or else wanders around town more than is good for him–especially since the usual places to visit have also closed. We were all so happy when Agape re-opened after a short break, and restored our sons hours and most of his activities to pre-COVID levels. His other weekday activities have yet to resume, so Agape has been a life-saver for us all. Our son looks forward to every day at Agape–each one is a new adventure for him, and we dread that another shut-down should ever come to pass. We are thankful to all who help keep this wonderful place of service and ministry in operation!

Thanks for all you do!

Agape is a huge blessing for our loved one. And beyond that, as caregivers, we get to feel like real humans one weekend each month. Please weigh the value of this too! We sure do!
