Holy Ground Homeless Shelter saved because people cared

Of all the posts I put up to share, I take great joy in posting this kind of story to warm your heart, renew your belief if the human spirit and the compassion people can find within their own hearts. These people stepping up to help this wonderful woman are remarkable. They were not rich. Far from it. One donated $5.00 and another sold her things at a yard sale to find the extra money to give. Even in these hard times, people think of others first. Other people will look at the suffering that goes on in this world and ask, "Where is God" because so many suffer. They do not understand that God sends the answer to prayers when we hear His call and fulfill the need. How can anyone look at such acts of compassion and still wonder?

HUDSON — An unemployed woman gave $5. Another woman sold her belongings at a yard sale and donated the $200 profit. Churches pitched in, too.

As word spread that Holy Ground Homeless Shelter was facing eviction, scores of people dropped by the county's only all-inclusive homeless shelter to give whatever they could to keep the doors open.

By Monday, their generosity saved the day.
