From clients who were helped by Mercy's Gate:
In the last 6 months, my husband was physically injured and unable to work for four months. My employer recently reduced my hours to avoid layoffs. With all these things in such a short period of time, we almost lost our home, our vehicles, and services such as electricity and gas shut off. Thanks to the help of Mercy's Gate we avoided a service interruption and were truly grateful and blessed to have had your help. We also received food from the pantry which was a big help. Thank you.
I'm a single mother of three. Since my divorce, I have struggled with paying my bills. I was a stay-at-home mother for 12 years. Today Mercy's Gate helped me with my past due bill from the utility company. The weight of the world is off my shoulders. I'm so thankful. I've prayed and prayed for an end to my sorrow. Today I feel blessed.
Thank you so much for your help with my utility bill. I am so thankful for your ministry. I attend a local church and we support Mercy's Gate. I never thought I would need your services, but so thankful that God has provided for me through you. I especially want to thank the volunteers for their understanding and kindness and for praying for me and my situation. I could truly see that these volunteers love the Lord. Also, thank you for the food I received. I pray that God will bless you for your sacrifices and service to Him.
