Your Donations Help Hope Lutheran Preschool Teacher in Bonita Springs, Florida

Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, visited again with Katie Bachman, a preschool teacher at Hope Lutheran Church in Bonita Springs, Florida. Katie’s family home was destroyed by Hurricane Irma and condemned by the city of Bonita Springs. Your donations enabled the Bachman family to begin demolition of their home. Even through the devastation, their faith remained strong and they trusted in God’s big plan to provide for their needs and give them peace during the long recovery process. The Bachman family shared how God has been present in their lives since the hurricane.

Katie began by sharing about her first day back after the hurricane and how her lesson plan, which was created before the school year started, was to teach her students that “God’s Got It!” Looking back, she can see how God has been present with her and her family throughout all the trials of losing their home and ongoing struggles with their insurance company. They know He is with them now as they hope to begin rebuilding their home and lives. It is a struggle living in a small motorhome, but they are grateful to be able to stay on their own property to care for their animals and work on their demolition and rebuild. There has been, and probably will continue to be, good and bad times, but Katie is reminded daily that “God’s Got It!”
 
The Bachman family lost most of their belongings as a result of flood waters from Hurricane Irma. Through your generosity, LCC plans on assisting them with beds, bedding and appliances. Please consider donating to help LCC share the mercy and compassion of Jesus to the Bachman family.
