Lutheran Church Charities received a request from Pastor John Brazeal, Christ the King Lutheran Church and Geri Brazeal, Principal, Christ the King Lutheran School, Chicago, Illinois. They are requesting $2,000 in financial assistance to help a former Christ the King student pay his student loan balance for transcripts needed to obtain a Master of Social Work Degree. He is one of three full scholarship picks from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Jane Adams College of Social Work.
Darrell graduated with honors from eighth grade and went on to Mount Carmel High School (Chicago, Illinois) on a scholarship. After graduation, he went to Northern Illinois University to study psychology and education. His student loans and grandmother helped him with tuition. Unfortunately, while Darrell was still in college, his beloved grandmother passed away. He also lost his mom to drug overdose and witnessed his best friend get killed.
Please prayerfully consider making a monetary donation to enable Darrell to pursue a Master of Social Work Degree and obtain his license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to serve his community.
On Thanksgiving, the LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs and their veteran handlers attended various events to offer love and show their appreciation for those serving our country. We were honored to share our time with them since they couldn't be with their families. LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs Blitz (LCC Squad), Brutus (LCC Squad), and Nigel (LCC Staff) visited a group of 30+ Navy Recruits at American Legion Post 208 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The recruits came from Great Lakes Naval Training Station in North Chicago. Each year the Legion Post sponsors a day for the recruits to call home, enjoy a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal and spend a day away from the Training Station. The LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry has been present for the last three years. The recruits loved seeing and meeting the Kare 9s.
