SUBMIT AN AREA ANNOUNCEMENT


Crime Victims Advocate is a Christ-centered, faith-based initiative founded by a victim of crime at Holly Lake Ranch who is working for improvements in the Wood County Sheriff's Office, Wood County District Attorney's Office, and the Holly Lake Ranch Security and Administration offices in response to crime in our community. Since founding Crime Victims Advocate in 2005, many improvements have been made in the way these agencies respond to crime victims' appeals for help. There is more work to be done, and I continue to make efforts on behalf of crime victims in Wood County. Please note the new telephone number for Crime Victims Advocate: 903-705-3703.

Organizing a Home Care Service

For patients recovering from surgery or those who are sick and home from the hospital. Last year I had four major surgeries and had it not been for the untiring help from my husband I would never have been able to help myself. Not all of us are fortunate enough to have a caring family member who is willing to go that extra mile. But, I do believe that out here at Holly Lake Ranch there are many who would be willing to join an organization of service to those who need it. When a person is sick or has been in the hospital for surgery, etc., they need time to recover and the everyday things continue on such as: laundry, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, visits to the doctor, prescriptions that need to be picked up and delivered, pet care, etc.

 

And, just a visit from a friendly someone is always welcomed. If you are interested in helping me organize this service, please give me a call. Perhaps you have a special gift in the are of service listed above and would appreciate the opportunity to help others. This is strictly a voluntary service without charge to the patient. In other words, it is a grace ministry. Thank You!
