Story of Hope

  • Ken and Betty

Ken’s Story

Your church can stand in the gap when hope seems far off. Ken and his wife Betty have been through a lot. Ken had been supporting Betty, who is a cancer survivor with ongoing medical issues, when he suddenly needed surgery himself due to an accident.

Shortly after underdoing multiple surgeries and rehabilitation, Ken was laid off. While Ken and Betty managed to keep up with their expenses throughout all their medical issues, after six weeks of unemployment, they were struggling to afford their rent.

That’s when the local church the couple attends referred them to Love INC. Together with their church, Love INC was able to cover one month’s rent for Ken and Betty.

With your help and the partnerships of faithful churches, we provide people like Ken with the means to make it through challenges.
