“Moving to Lubbock was very difficult for me. However, attending a writing and art workshop at ELAH made a significant difference. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiling faces. It was refreshing to see a variety of ages and people. This place made me feel safe during a time when my social anxiety and mental health issues were pressuring me to isolate and stay home.
I received books that have helped improve my emotional intelligence, and I’ve been using them since my visit to the workshop. The organizers were genuine and overall very welcoming. Thank you for creating a space where people can feel safe.”

“We stayed there with my son and daughter in law for a month to help them out and we could not have done it if it was not for the Ronald McDonald house! Awesome place and people!”
“Jan, and her team, are true angels on earth. The ministry they provide to the least of these, folks without safe living arrangements, is so special. Their goal of restoration, helping folks help themselves to get back to a place of self-sufficiency by providing for their physical needs including a safe living space and community is truly life-saving. Jan's energy and spirits of encouragement is a blessing to those currently struggling. I paraphrase the Apostle Paul, I give thanks and praise to God for Jan and this ministry everytime I think of her.”
“What a breath of Christian care this place has. It' s staff are all so kind and caring. They offer and do whatever they can to help in all situations where a need arises. Never condescending or too busy to listen and offer the kind of love that only Jesus could possibly inspire in this blessed group of people. They are truly compassionate. God bless them all.”
“I came here with a friend of mine. It was my first time here. I was a little nervous and overwhelmed. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful to me and they made me feel more comfortable. I totally enjoyed my experience and I will definitely be back next month!”
“Gopuff industries: This company is unscrupulous ! Do Not buy anything from them ! They do Not care where their money comes from & even people who don't have accounts with them are charged hundreds of dollars with no recourse. Thier customer service is a joke. They are not even remotely concerned about clientele. Actions speak louder than words & this company has no pride . They're just thieves stealing hard earned people's money . You reap what you sow & eventually this buisness will go under with practices like these . Please if you get any unauthorized charges on your card from this company STOP your card ! They will clean out your account & they won't even hear your grievances .”
“The staff was friendly very helpful. I pulled my car to the six of the store a a young girls took everything out of the back of my car. I didn’t have to do anything.”
“New to reviewing. MOW has been very helpful to me. The meals are mostly okay and really come in handy, especially on the days my provider does not come. Although I don't often get to enjoy them for lunch due to a late breakfast, I warm the meals in the microwave for supper. They usually do well. Thank you for trying to create nutritious and flavorful meals for us.
Also, I really appreciate the couriers for their time and friendly faces. I find myself trying to get up in time to see them. We have short but nice talks, which boost my mood. Most of them are so sweet and have big smiles.
They come in and check on me and leave the food. If I am in bed, it means I did not get much sleep, and I am EXTREMELY hard to wake. But, once they see I am alive, they leave. These visits are super important, as I am sometimes alone for 1 to several days at a time (especially when my provider, older than me, has to deal with her own medical or other issues) and just need to be seen alive and not on the floor and to talk to someone other than telemarketers.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. IT TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF HEART TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE!!! Generous funding can keep this program going. God Bless you all!!”

“The elderly woman who operates this facility - solely by herself- LOVES DOGS . Yes she is stressed at times and relies on Donations to keep saving dogs . I am sorry she was rude when going to retrieve the donations . However I am mad that someone-possibly - stole her canister of donations ! NOW THAT WAS RUDE AND SINFUL - if that is actually what happened!!! Please donate whenever you can to her foundation . DOGS are incredible and she Loves them ! After all DOG is GOD spelled backward !!!”
