Description

What happens when a grieving mother, recently arrived from Ghana, finds herself isolated after the tragic loss of her son? Hear this story of a local church stepping up to provide not only material support but also emotional and spiritual connection to a family in desperate need.

Through the CarePortal platform, a simple request for an Uber gift card turned into a heartfelt mission of compassion and community. Listeners will hear how this church went above and beyond to offer genuine care, showing up to provide meals, counselling, and ongoing support, transforming a story of isolation into one of belonging and hope.
