This Week God Brought Us: Danny

Danny is from rural central Washington and was referred to us by a local utility company.  When we reached Danny, he was in Spokane with his wife and elementary-school age daughter, who is receiving treatment for leukemia. There are three other minor children in the home. The utility company affirmed that Danny and his wife had an excellent payment history until just recently, as the obligations for traveling away from home and from work for their daughter’s critical care took precedence. Danny’s voice was quiet and subdued. He explained that he was just driving around the city with his daughter in between appointments, as she liked to see the sites. The good news is that a different non-profit, one focused on households experiencing pediatric cancer, had already pledged to pay their current owing utility bill. We were able to share that with Danny and recommend that he reach out to us for any future such needs.
