Stories from West Houston Assistance Ministries

Here is a short story from West Houston Assistance Ministries about where a couple of the kids bikes went...

Evelyn (not real name) has a husband and two children. They are from Galveston, TX and have been in Houston for 7 months. Evelyn was a dishwasher at a restaurant in Galveston and her husband worked in construction. Since their move to Houston they have worked odd jobs to try to make ends meet but it is a struggle for them because their government assistance benefits haven't transferred to Houston yet. Evelyn's father helps them financially when he can but it isn't enough. They have lovely children ages 3yrs and 4yrs but one child is autistic and very active which adds more of a burden to their situation. Once the children saw the bicycles she almost had to restrain them and confine them to their truck. It was funny to see them jumping from seat to seat to get the best view of their new bicycles. Thank you so much. That made the day.
