Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10
FBF is not an aid agency. Though, we do not accept online requests for help, we hope that this page of resources will be a blessing and an opportunity to learn more. We can make no recommendations or guarantees about these organizations, as they are just resources we have learned of over the years. We do suggest using the utmost kindness when contacting them, and if they cannot help you, ask them if they know of anyone who might be able to. That way, more dots might arise to help connect you to a solution.
Listen and hear My voice; pay attention and what I say.
Isaiah 28:23
