How sweet the sound
Today, I received an encouraging e-mail from Laurie Coburn:
To: Friends of Moses Munene
Good news! Another milestone for Moses!
We think we have found a suitable two-bedroom apartment for Moses and his friend Shuumi to share at a very reasonable price. It's located in a decent but low-icome area in NE Washington near Hechinger Mall at Benning Road, where there are a Shop-Rite and a CVS and good public transportation. The owners are a very kind older couple who are willing to make some minor changes so the apartment will be more accessible. Moses and Shuumi expect to sign a rental agreement tomorrow.
There is one caveat, however. There is no wheelchair ramp for getting into the apartment. The owners have consented to having one put in if we can find someone to do it. So now we are seeking volunteers to make a ramp. I spoke to Maurice about it today, and he promises to spread the word.
There are a few furnishings in the apartment: a loveseat and upholstered chair, a kitchen table, and a few odd chairs. These are adequate but not beautiful. There are plenty of closets. The apartment is very plain and could use some cleaning and decorating. They will need beds, dresser drawers, desks, and rugs, linens and housewares. A microwave would be a great help.
Our next project is to find a way for Moses to bring in some money while he is waiting for the documents that will allow him to hold a regular job. The lawyer says it is legal for him to volunteer in return for a stipend to cover his expenses. He has computer and teaching skills and is open to anything that he is able to do, such as pass out flyers, answer telephone, etc. If you hear of anything, please let us know.
So..... God is Great and God is Good! We are so thankful to Him and to all of you for your prayers, your moral support and your material support.
Peace and Blessings to you all!
Asante sana na Mungu akubariki!
I take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the Benefit for Moses concert and those who contributed and cared. Good deed indeed.
I will be performing in a benefit for Elise Martin Crosby scholarship fund on Friday, May 14 with Mary Shaver, Dave Sherman and Hurricane Howie, some of DC's best blues players. For details, please go here. Come and bring your friends.
