‘God Listens’: Grandma of 5 With Leaky, Broken Roof Has Prayers Answered, Thanks to Charity
After struggling to compensate for a leaking roof using kitchen pots and pans to catch drips, a Virginia grandmother, raising five children, has had her prayers answered.
Carol Johnson was using kitchen improvisations to catch rainwater during poor weather, until Pastor Tyronne Champion, director of Fauquier County nonprofit Community Touch Inc., heard her story. Champion wrote a grant proposal to Dominion Energy, and they responded by donating the necessary funds.
