Strength of My Heart Charity Recipient
The 2024 Life Donation Recipient is Marsha’s Place in Henderson, Kentucky. Anthology author M.E. Weyerbacher recommended this charity. This is what she said about Marsha’s Place.
“This center holds a dear place in my heart. I first learned about them when I was a child, when we moved from Indiana to Kentucky to attend a church where my uncle pastored. Through active service there around the age 12-14, I wound up volunteering regularly by helping sort clothes, food, and other items. We attended their local events, and I met many steadfast Christians this way.
“Marsha’s Place is a Faith-based organization, believing in the Trinity, God’s Word as our guide, and loving people as they are, where they are in life. They created a program so that recipients not only have their physical needs met, but are able to learn about God’s love for them. I am now 38, and I’ve watched this organization go from a tiny house to a brand new building with state-of-the-art equipment. It’s definitely God-breathed and has helped so many people!”
Celebrate the season of love and faith with a heartwarming multi-author anthology of romance stories while also helping to support life with every purchase.
All net proceeds of this anthology will go directly to Marsha’s Place.
