Lazarus House Ministries - Donations - Lawrence Fire
Lawrence Fire
Lazarus House thanks you for allowing us to channel your goodness!
Dear Friends,
We can no longer accept donations of any kind specifically marked for the fire victims.
Your generosity has been so overwhelming that our donations, combined with the City’s which we are helping to distribute, are enough to take care of each person affected by the massive fire with both dignity and honor.
Your goodness along with that of so many others like you, will give these families an opportunity at life which they might not otherwise have had.
Out of respect for your generosity, we want you to know that we will never use donated dollars for other than their dedicated purpose.
Again, thank you for helping to make such a difference in the lives of those affected by the fire. Your goodness and timely response helped to ease their pain and tragic loss.
God bless you,
H. Bridget Shaheen
