New Hope for Dixie and Samuel

Dixie and Samuel are a resilient couple. Both endured the loss of their previous partners. Then two years ago, their shared home burned down. Together with friends like you, the couple is now looking to a more hopeful future.   

 

Previously, Dixie worked at a hotel, but she’s currently out of work as she prepares to undergo surgery. As a result of a major car accident several years ago, Samuel can no longer work but receives Social Security Disability assistance.

Dixie says she’s in the process of applying for Medicare benefits insurance, but in the meantime, the couple’s bills often outweigh their fixed income — and leave little, if any, leftover for food.  

 

Thanks to your partnership, Dixie can pick up healthy food from Family Life and Mission Outreach, a Food Bank partner agency in Windthorst.  

 

Typically, the food lasts the couple three weeks and Dixie shared that she really enjoys the chicken and fresh fruits that she receives and uses to prepare nutritious meals. 

 

“The people are great. You couldn’t ask for better people. They will help you,” Dixie says of the friends she has met at Family Life and Mission Outreach. “They’ll talk you through whatever you’re going through.”  

 

Thank you for being a part of this helping community by giving generously for neighbors like Dixie and Samuel.

This story of hope and resilience is truly heartwarming! Just as compassion and care can transform lives, Microneedling Irvine treatments help people regain confidence through gentle rejuvenation. Both reflect the power of healing and renewal in different yet meaningful ways.

It’s truly moving to see how Dixie and Samuel continue to push forward despite so many hardships. I admire their resilience and the supportive community around them. Stories like this remind me of the importance of not giving up even when the road gets rough — kind of like in Escape Road, where you have to keep finding new ways forward no matter what obstacles appear.
