The True

blessed by the outpouring of love
to them during their stay at the
Safe Haven home in December after
their house fire. Your gifts enabled
them to find permanent housing,
replacement furniture, and to repair a vehicle during
the Christmas season. A note from Candace True
stated: “...I pray the Lord blesses you tenfold for how
you've blessed my family. We honestly could never
have done this without you and our Heavenly Father.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for
us! Love, the True Family.”
