Put Away the Umbrella

Sounds as if I am making reference to the lack of rain in our location and the bright sunshine we're experiencing, but I am actually referring to the "umbrella organization" (Helping Hands Ministries) that has provided the means for donors to give to TBI making sure the gifts were tax-exempt.  Well, after 9 months our application has been reviewed by all the necessary agents in the IRS and WE ARE NOW A TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION!

Can you tell I am excited?

We will be weaning off Helping Hands in the next few weeks and making sure our website is secure and ready for those who want to donate online.  They will be able to do so easily and efficiently.  One good thing is that 8% of donations went to HH for administrative costs.  Now, we won't have to lose that portion.  That will help.

So, many have been praying and have been waiting for this day.  Thank you, Lord, for helping us to keep making progress.  Thank you, friends, for caring enough to read what is happening in our lives.
