GIVE HOPE | WINDOW STORY

At our annual Partner Dinner, a RADIUS Southside partner approached us after hearing about our generosity opportunities. She shared about a family connected to the school where she works — a single mom with several children who attend there.

The family had been through a difficult year, having lost the father last year. When the new school year began, the mom was dropping her kids off each morning — but their van’s rear passenger-side window had been shattered, leaving a large open hole. Rain, cold, and heat poured into the car, and often the kids arrived at school soaking wet, shivering, or overheated — yet their mom continued doing everything she could to get them there on time.

She asked if RADIUS might be able to help.

Thanks to Give Hope funds, we were able to partner with a local glass company to find and install a replacement window. While waiting for the part, the company even took the time to wrap the opening securely to keep the family safe and comfortable in the meantime.

This small act of generosity became possible because a RADIUS partner was “heads up” in her radius — she noticed a need, shared it, and through the Give Hope funds contributed by our church community, we were able to meet a very real and practical need for this family.
