The Gift of Compassion – KCH’s Ramsey Emergency Fund

March 9, 2023 | Scholarships & Grants

One day, an employee called off from her shift because she lived outside of town and had a flat tire.  Several days went by, with her calling each day explaining she had no funds to get the tire fixed and no way to get to work.  After about a week, she was terminated.

Fortunately, the employees at Kanas Christian Home (KCH) will never face this kind of crisis because of the compassion of Neewannah Ramsey and supporters such as yourself.  In Sept. 2011, Ramsey gifted funds to KCH to start an emergency fund for the employees.  The Ramsey Fund provides interest-free loans to employees experiencing an unforeseen crisis.

In 2022, 14 staff members were assisted in their time of crisis. This includes car repairs, legal assistance, medical expenses, housing and utilities.

Compassion is often learned when one sees it modeled in the behavior of others.  KCH staff are asked to provide compassionate care each and every day.  Please prayerfully consider extending your compassion that they may more deeply feel the love of Christ modeled.
