LCC and St. Paul Canfield Supports the Ortiz Family with Donations and a Vehicle

On Sunday, February 4, following the worship service at St. Paul Canfield in Chicago, Illinois, Pastor Dan Teller and Chairman of Outreach Committee Jennifer Boberg introduced the Ortiz family from Puerto Rico. Jose Ortiz shared the ordeal of surviving Hurricane Maria and why they decided to move back to Illinois. Having lost everything, he and his family were overwhelmed that complete strangers from St. Paul Canfield and Lutheran Church Charities would be so caring and supportive, helping them to put their lives back together again.

Lutheran Church Charities and the donors at St. Paul presented the family with a new bilingual Spanish/English Bible and little Liam with his own Spanish/English children’s Bible to help them to grow in their relationship with the Lord Jesus who protected them during the hurricane and continues to bless them. Lastly, St. Paul presented the Ortiz family with donations to cover the cost of the title transfer of the vehicle, taxes, and six months of auto insurance.

Thank you to all the donors who paid the first month’s rent and security deposit, provided household goods and furniture, a car, clothing, gift cards, and financial assistance as an expression of God’s love and provision for this family in need.
