**TO GOD BE THE GLORY! 🙏❤️**Amen

Sometimes, trying to find the right words is the hardest thing to do, especially when your heart is so full of gratitude that words just don’t seem to do it justice. This is one of those moments for me. How do you put into words what God has done, the people He has placed in your life, and the incredible things that can happen when people come together with faith, love, and a shared purpose? Honestly, I’m not sure there are enough words to truly express it.

Sometimes God puts things in motion in our lives that are bigger than we could have ever imagined. When I look back at the journey that brought us to this moment, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for what He has done, the people He has placed in my life, and the team He has brought together for a purpose far greater than any one of us.

Recently, we closed on our new building, and I say **WE** because this has never been about one person. It has been about a TEAM of people who believe in serving others, loving our community, and trusting that God is leading the way. This building will become the home of **Ohio Hope Builders Disaster Relief and Sleep in Heavenly Peace**, two missions with one shared purpose: serving others, bringing hope, and making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

When I look at this picture, I see so much more than a closing day. I see prayers, hard work, sacrifices, generosity, countless volunteer hours, and a community that continues to show up for others. I see businesses willing to lend a hand, donors who believe in our missions, volunteers who give their time and hearts, and people who have supported us every step of the way. Every single person who has played a part in this journey has helped bring us to this moment, and I hope you know just how grateful we are.

To our volunteers, donors, community partners, local businesses, friends, and everyone who has supported Ohio Hope Builders and Sleep in Heavenly Peace, **THANK YOU!** We would not be standing here without you. Your generosity and willingness to serve have helped make something truly special possible. Please know that every contribution, every helping hand, every prayer, and every act of kindness has mattered. You are part of this story, and you are part of what makes this mission so special.

But above everything else, I want to make one thing clear: **THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD!** 🙌

We know we are not in control of everything, but we serve a God who is. He has guided this mission, opened doors, brought the right people together, and continued to remind us that when we put our faith in Him and our hearts into serving others, beautiful things can happen.

There have been moments along this journey when the road ahead wasn't clear, when there were challenges to overcome, and when we simply had to trust Him and keep moving forward. Looking back now, I can see so many moments where things came together in ways that only God could have orchestrated. It reminds me that sometimes we don't understand the journey while we're walking through it, but we can look back and see His hand in it all.

This building is more than just a facility. It represents hope. It represents unity. It represents what can happen when a community comes together with a willing heart and a shared purpose. It represents the countless lives we hope to touch, the families we hope to help, the children who will have a safe place to sleep, and the communities we will be better equipped to serve when disaster strikes.

**And this is just the beginning!** ❤️

My heart is full. I'm thankful for the journey, thankful for the people beside me, thankful for the community that continues to believe in us, and most of all, thankful to God for allowing us to be a small part of something so much bigger than ourselves.

If there's one thing this journey has taught me, it's that we don't have to have all the answers, we don't have to have everything figured out, and we certainly don't have to do it alone. We just have to be willing to say yes when God calls us to serve, trust Him with the unknown, and surround ourselves with people who share the same heart for helping others.

So, if I struggle to find the perfect words to express how I feel, please know this: **MY HEART IS FULL, MY FAITH IS STRONG, AND MY GRATITUDE IS BIGGER THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.** 🙏❤️

**To God be the glory for what He has done, what He is doing, and what is still to come!**

Let's keep loving, serving, building, and bringing hope to those who need it most. Let's continue to lift one another up, work together, and remember that when we put our differences aside and focus on serving others, amazing things can happen.

This isn't about recognition, buildings, or any one individual. It's about the people we serve, the lives we touch, the hope we bring, and the God we serve.

**All glory to Him. Always.** 🙌❤️

💚 A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO DAN’S TOWING & RECOVERY! 💚

At Ohio Hope Builders Disaster Relief, we are incredibly blessed to be surrounded by people and businesses who believe in what we do and are always willing to step up to help our community! 🙌

Recently, a very good friend donated a shipping container to our organization to help support our disaster relief mission and our partnership with Sleeping Heavenly Peace, helping provide beds to children who need them. 🛏️❤️

But getting that container moved to our building was another challenge, and that’s where Dan’s Towing & Recovery stepped in! They generously moved the container for us at absolutely no cost to our organization!

Dan’s, we honestly can’t thank you enough for your generosity, your time, and your willingness to help us continue our mission. Support like this means more than words can express. Every dollar we save on expenses is another dollar we can put toward helping people in need and making a difference in the lives of children and families.

This is what happens when local businesses, community members, and nonprofit organizations come together with a common goal: making our community a better place. 🤝💚

We truly don’t know what we would do without people and businesses like you standing beside us. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Dan’s Towing & Recovery, for being part of the Ohio Hope Builders family and helping us continue to bring hope to those who need it most!

Let’s continue to show up for one another, work together, and remind people that when a community comes together, amazing things happen! 💚🙏

THANK YOU, DAN’S TOWING & RECOVERY! Your support does not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for you!

Okay, folks, it’s time for us to do a better job of sharing what we’ve been up to! 💪

Earlier this week, **Ohio Hope Builders**, in collaboration with some incredible organizations, including the **Nehemiah Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank, and Matthew 25 Ministries**, was able to acquire supplies to help us be better prepared when disaster strikes.

It’s truly awesome to see multiple organizations come together, work hand in hand, and share resources for the greater good of our community. When organizations unite with a common goal of helping others, we can accomplish so much more together than we ever could alone! 🤝❤️

This is what community is all about: **coming together, being prepared, and making a difference when it matters most.**

We’re grateful for these partnerships and excited about what we can continue to accomplish together! 🧡💪

We truly can’t say enough good things about Sunbelt Rentals! 🙌 They are an incredible company that goes above and beyond, not only in the work they do but also in the impact they make in our local communities. ❤️

Their team is made up of hardworking, dedicated people who are an absolute pleasure to work with, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship we’ve built with them.

At Ohio Hope Builders, we know that making a difference takes a team of people and businesses who are willing to step up, lend a helping hand, and make a positive impact on the lives of others. Sunbelt Rentals is a perfect example of what a true community partner looks like!

We are incredibly proud to have them as a partner and to have them standing alongside us in our mission to serve others and help communities in need. Partnerships like this are what make it possible to do more, reach more people, and make a lasting difference. 🤝💙

Thank you, Sunbelt Rentals, for everything you do for our communities and for being such an amazing part of the Ohio Hope Builders family! We are truly blessed to have you on our team! 🇺🇸❤️

Today, Assistant Mayor Tracey Tackett and State Senator Kyle Koehler attended the ribbon cutting for the new Sunbelt Rentals location in Springfield!

Sunbelt Rentals, a tools and equipment rental company, opened a new store on Laybourne Road. This new location will bridge the gap in construction equipment needs between the Dayton and Columbus areas.

Congratulations to Sunbelt Rentals on the opening of their new store, and please join us in wishing them success for years to come!
