A few years ago, RLC was able to help a mom and her husband who unexpectedly lost their jobs while trying to raise two kids and navigate health concerns. All this was happening to them in one month. Here is what she had to say about the help they received from Real Life Center. “They met our immediate needs with help with food, clothing, and helped with some bills that were critical. It was such a relief, but even more than that, they prayed with us and encouraged us.” Later this family returned to the center bringing in donations and cleaning supplies to help others. Real Life Center gave them provided them with hope and practical care.
