Mellisa's Got a New Bed

 

I can't post videos on TBP Word Press web site, but I can at Blogger.

The delivery of the beds is a highlight of what we do at the Bed Project.  Mellisa is from out of state after fleeing an abusive relationship.  She did a stint at the Women and Children First shelter, then got into her own apartment.  She has little furniture in her apartment and has been sleeping on the couch.  Last night she got her own bed.   She hasn't had a bed with a headboard since she was little girl.  She was very gracious.  

Sleep well, Mellisa.

Then we visited Julie, a woman who just got into public housing.  She has a heartbreaking story and the only thing she is waiting for to get her two daughters back from DHS are beds.  DHS requires beds and a couch before they can release custody.  Julie has a complicated story.  As I listened to her, I thought Jesus' response to Mary Magdelene.
