I am LaCole Niles. I found myself to be a single mother in my late thirties. I fell into the category of earning too much for assistance yet not enough to cover all expenses. A friend of mine informed me of this organization. I met the founder and received much more than tangible support. I received a confidant and hope. I have gotten personalized assistance with my resume and networking opportunities in my job search. I have also been fortunate to obtain clothes for work. In the past, my family was blessed with a live Christmas tree and the decorations to place on it. I didn't even have to put it up. The volunteers of the organization did all of the work! I have gotten gifts for my children and myself for Christmas, how wonderful! The holidays can be a difficult time of the year for single parents trying to make ends meet and make a way for extra pleasures that others may take for granted. They provide Thanksgiving baskets, holiday socials for the parents to congregate and Christmas gifts for the families. Shinning Light Homes (which I call ministries) fill in the gap for single parents not only during the holidays but also through out the year. This organization provides help with items from food/ toiletries to furniture and housing. Being introduced to this organization has truly been a blessing to me and my family.

My name is DeMarea Colson and I was introduced to the shining light ministry by a friend. I enjoyed the fellowship of meeting other mothers that may be going through the same thing that I was going through at the moment. This organization has helped and supported many mothers that may not qualify for particular benefits, needing guidance on there next move or just need support. This organization was started by someone with a heart of gold and filled with the love of God. I continue to strive to be the best mother that I can be and I just appreciate Shining Light Ministry. This organization has assisted with back to school, Christmas, food pantry, toiletry pantry, gives advice and promotes having faith in God. This organization looks out and post jobs listing, also signed mothers up for Thanksgiving basket. What a blessing
