David has been amazed by the lovingkindness of of many kindhearted people who have been reaching out to help him. It's been very encouraging and he's hopeful that in due time he will indeed be rescued, healed and restored..

The rain has started to show up in the past week or so. It's been leaking through the damage in his roof from the storm in September. He’s been busy mopping up the water and trying to put things where they won't get wet.

David continues to explore different housing options, but the most affordable so far has been buying a used RV. We have had to pass up several good deals along the way because we haven’t reached the goal yet.

Nevertheless, we are still believing, hoping and praying that God will bring in more financial help as David and Buddy are not well or able to do this alone.

Please join us with your prayers and help David and Buddy financially if you are able to so they can find a warm, dry and safe home to spend the winter in.

❤️We can’t thank you enough for all the generous prayers and contributions to help David and Buddy. We are a little over a third of the way to the goal. Yay God!!

Your prayers are amazing, God has been sending people bearing gifts to help cheer and encourage David. Here’s a couple of recent examples.

The other day a man driving by was compelled to stop to talk with David. When he found out David had a GiveSendGo he blessed David with a generous contribution. David was amazed and knew it was God who sent him.

Today a man who rides his bike past where David has been staying (and stopped to talk with him a few days ago) brought him an amazing assortment of healthy food and snacks he bought from Whole Foods. David was amazed because of how much he brought to him carrying them on his bike. He knows how far away he is from Whole Foods. He was amazed that a stranger would do something like that. He was very grateful.

David is very concerned about the hurricane victims. He says they need help a lot more than he does. If he has to stay where he is for the winter he says it’s okay as long as they get the help they need.

David has always put others first. He knows we’re all doing the best we can to try to help him before winter sets in. He’s become hopeful since the giving began, we’re praying he stands strong and doesn’t lose hope. He’s encouraged to know people actually care about him. He’s ready for a good change with a fresh start.

Thanks ever so much, please keep praying for David and Buddy, give if you’re able as the Lord leads. God bless each and every one of you! 🥰

God bless everyone for your continual prayer support for David and Buddy! 🥰💐🤗

Overall, David appreciates all the prayers going up for him and the fact that he's reunited with his family again. His wounded heart is being healed as we all lift him up in prayer.

Even though his GiveSendGo goal hasn't been met, God is changing his life dramatically. Although he's very tired and has trouble sleeping, he feels better for the first time in a long while, not depressed as much and has hope for his future.

He says no matter what happens, he knows people really care about him and he's so happy to have the love and support of so many who don't even know him. He's amazed that people care so much after being alone for so many years.

🙏 If you aren't able to give anything financially, there's a feature on his GiveSendGo account where you can post your prayer for David and Buddy. It would really bless and encourage him if he could read your heartfelt prayers for him. Just click on the prayer button at the bottom of his Prayer Requests that are posted at the bottom of the page.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS

God has been working in amazing ways, touching David's heart and with encouragement for him to trust God and to be hopeful for a better future as God promises.

For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Please continue praying for David and Buddy, offering words of encouragement and help financially if you are able.

We've been actively searching for an RV and exploring the other options, but have had to pass on some good deals because we don't have enough funds raised yet.

So Father, we're just praying for David and his blind dog buddy, and we're just lifting them up as we have each week now. Just asking for your blessing to fall upon all of them. And to literally guide them in the way that you want and need.

This is a trialing time, and so we really pray for the healing and restoration of David and his body. This is something that transforms everything. For all of his issues, from his feet to his knees to his legs to his overall health and his body, We just pray a blessing of healing and restoration over the entire body.

We pray a blessing of the resources needed and the gifts needed to be able to move forward, to acquire a new home, to get him off the streets.

So we pray a greater blessing upon this, that this experience through David will lift himself up. And as he nurtures and cares for a blind dog,

May it be reminded that right now most of what he's seeking is the sight in the heart of God, to be able to take that experience he has back into the world, and to help others see God clearly as he's experiencing it now.

So may this time be a full time of restoration and healing of the heart, to lift him up, to empower him in a ministry, to be able to lead others to the glory of Christ. In Christ Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

That was a little unexpected. That was all Holy Spirit.

Greetings to all you wonderful people who care enough to help David and Buddy!

From the bottom of his heart, David would like thank everyone for their most generous gifts, encouraging notes and thoughtful prayers. He's encouraged to see how many people truly care about him and want to help get him and Buddy into a clean, warm and safe environment for the winter.

He also wants everyone to know that he has been given the opportunity to get his teeth pulled and dentures made so he doesn't have to suffer anymore dental pain once that's done.

He's holding off on the dental work until he's able to find a new clean home for himself and Buddy so he can rest and heal comfortably after the dental work is done.

He is also concerned about what to do with Buddy while he's getting the dental work done. Buddy depends on David to always be with him and experiences separation anxiety if they are separated. Buddy is 14 years old and has been battling cancer for the last 4 years. The doctors thought Buddy would die the first year he was diagnosed with cancer, but Buddy is hanging in there faithfully with David to help him get through the tough times.

David hopes that you will continue to pray for both Buddy and himself as they travel this healing journey together. Thanks ever so much, we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe, happy and healthy.

Blessings and much love to you and yours!
