“God has a plan for everybody, but sometimes that plan needs a little facilitation. There are not enough healthcare personnel to fill all the jobs available locally. Giving to Jeremiah’s Hope is a privilege because it can help make a lasting impact on someone else’s life,” said supporter Cathy Adams. “This is the most joyful donation we make.”
