Few people know the story that I'm about to share with you. Furthermore, few people know how devastating it was to The Reach Movement and myself personally. However, I am going to share it with you, not for you to feel sympathy for me personally but to solicit your encouragement and your help in this time of need.


On December 18, 2008, exactly 7 days before Christmas, a fire tore through the Laurel, MD building which housed the ground base for The Reach Movement and my home. A fire caused by a slight mistake caused by a neighbor in which he fell asleep with a lit cigarette.


Unfortunately everything that I owned was lost in this tragedy, including over $200,000 in audio, video and computer equipment that was purchased to build The Reach Movement.


I understand that what road blocks may come up when you're in line with what your purpose in life is and when you're doing something that may make a difference in others lives. I am fully aware and ready to keep pressing when those tests come my way. So what wasn't lost in the fire? Me and my teams drive and will to continue pressing on.


I have already began the rebuilding process. But, in order to keep the network going I need everyone's help to rebuild.


Please make a donation to reach today to help us rebuild our infrastructure and keep this network online. Any amount large or small will make a sincere difference in helping us get back together and we will be very grateful.


To make a donation just go to the home page at www.reachmovement.com and click on the donate button on the upper left hand side.


If you can't help us financially we would appreciate just your prayers and encouragement as we continue to press on.


Thanks
