First of all, on behalf of Share5 and The Revolution Tour,  THANK YOU to everyone who helped by being a part, large or small, of Different Miracle in Dawson Springs, KY October 1st through 5th!  We were able to bring the Robinson family home to their newly restored home in style, and to say the least, the response was life changing.

… and the over 100 volunteers, donors, and churches from states across the US who worked so hard and gave so much to make this a reality.  You blessed more than a family.  You ignited a community.

We are officially now less than 4 days from taking over the house for Different Miracle.

So far, over $1200 in funds has been raised, and while things are not entirely worked out, here is what has transpired in the last few days in the way of NON-cash contributions…

• Many local people have volunteered labor for the upcoming build Oct 1-5
• Sherwin-Williams has agreed to donate our paint
• Lowe’s HEAVILY discounted a new range and several lights
• Someone donated over 100 sheets of sheetrock
• We are waiting to hear on some potential furniture and flooring donations
• We have had a sign company donate some various items you’ll see in the finished pictures…
• A church in Nashville is beginning to help us coordinate a plan for the family while we work on the house.
• and finally…  The family is now registered at Walmart for your gifting convenience

  under “Different Miracle”!

We will have an organizational meeting on Sunday at 7pm in Madisonville, KY to finalize alot of the remaining details.  We have made two trips to the home for measurements and prep planning, and the homeowner has made significant steps in preparing for us to take over, so here we go!

We are still greatly in need of some final cash resources, as it looks like we will need 2 new showers and some baseboard heaters, so if you can help out in that way, please see don’t hesitate – use the button on the left!

We’ll look forward to sharing the progress with you, and ask for your prayers as we start the construction work on the 1st!
