Financial assistance has
made a world of difference
for people being evicted and
being foreclosed on. Just being
able to take away some of the
stressors of not being able
to pay your bills so that you
can worry about being able
to get food in the house or
how to find more stable work.
It’s already hard enough for
an African-American to get a
house because of what they
earn or their credit structure
or their debt to income. For us
to be able to come in to help
someone, so they don’t lose
that home—because once
they do, they probably will
never be a homeowner again—
that’s what gives us great joy,
knowing that we’ve been able
to stand in the gap.”
The Reverend Omaràn D. Lee, MDiv
Director of CHEN & Spiritual Care,
Nashville General Hospital
