There is a story to share in this picture of Margaret Tucker (auntie Margaret) first row on the right & 21 children & young adults who she has taken in & loved as her own. They were orphaned as a result of the civil war that took place in Sierra Leone from 1990 to 2001. Margaret is a widow who continues to care for these orphans with with only a small amount of help from the government. Friends, Tom & Becky Brockelman, became a part of this story when they moved to Sierra Leone in 2010 & this is when our journey with this amazing woman of faith & her beautiful family began. Over the past 5 years, mission teams & organizations visiting & working with Tom & Becky have provided encouragement & support in the way of giving rice, funding school fees & supplies, digging a well, & making improvements to Margaret's small home where she lives & cares for this family of 21. It is through this amazing woman, who has been & continues to be the example of God's love these children needed. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11)

Auntie Margaret & her children by choice
 | McKinney's small town feeling has a giving spirit & inspires us to do more. Our friends & family are rich in volunteer opportunities & we are eager to support causes close to our hearts. Between the two of us we know lots of folks who have their hands in the volunteering pies. It is a joy to be able to give back with talent & time. Kathleen Robinson and her husband Ted, have had a long standing relationship with The Brockelmans of Sierra Leone. This year's mission trip is giving us a chance to help make dresses for Auntie Margaret's girls. We are making patterns & offering sewing services for the dresses.  |
