The heart behind With Love
Birthed from a heartfelt vision, our mission is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in three pivotal areas: supporting the often overlooked retirement community, providing care and counseling for bereaved mothers, and a dedicated jail ministry for women.
While not everyone can be on the front lines, every contribution , time or financial , plays a vital role. Join us in this act of obedience, for there are many waiting for our love and support. , Michelle Aranza
