I want nothing extra — only to pay my bills and live with dignity in my remaining days.

A "Thank You" does not convey my gratitude to you and the ones who donate to this fund. I pray that God will continue to bless each one. This is especially a stressful time for me trying to pay all the Dr. bills that just keep coming. You gift is a tremendous help and I do Thank You.

I thank God with each new day and think of my many blessings because of the Adopt An Annuitant program. I’m thankful for each one participating in this ministry.

My husband has been gone on to be with God for 8 ½ years. He was so concerned for me in the last days of his illness. He had never served large churches, but because of the Adopt An Annuitant ministry, God has provided. Thank you! God bless you all!
