Outreach Center Lifts People From COVID-19 Financial Turmoil

Sandra recovers from extreme loss and poverty through the lifeline food distribution center supported by Operation Blessing. Read Transcript


- [Narrator] The Coronavirus pandemic,

has taken a huge toll on Americans,

both physically, and emotionally.

For Sandra Barfield,

it came after multiple,devastating losses.

- In four and a half years,

I lost my brother, both my sisters,

and my mother,

in the last four and a half years.

That has been really hard.

Then, I started notbeing able to buy food,

because, not many go far enough

to be able to buy groceries.

So, the day that I come over here,

I would say, probably thelowest `that I've been.

I was over on the interstate and I thought

how easy it would be,

just to plow into another car,

and just end it all.

Just end all this pain, all this hurt.

- [Narrator] Then she foundOperation Blessing partner,

the Outreach Center.

Volunteers gave her a warmwelcome when she arrived.

- They just kinda started talking to me,

and I was squalid.

I was crying and I said I'm so broken.

I can't even begin to tell you

how broken I am and how numb I am,

and they both said,

"Could we pray with you?"

It felt like I wascleansed, like I was reborn.

That was the day of my healing.

I didn't really know what love was,

I didn't really knowthat there was a people

that could love you unconditionally,

and give people food, good food,

I mean, really good food.

Then all of a sudden I had enough money,

to pay all the bills.

I was able to catch the bills

that, I just kept saying,

"Jesus, I can't thank you enough.

"I can't thank you enough."

- [Narrator] Sandra,is especially thankful,

to the partners of Operation Blessing.

- God, is so good.

He's blessed this people,elated on their hearts,

to be able to help people like me.

I've never felt so much love.

I don't feel alone, anymore.

I appreciate them, morethan they'll ever know,

and God's gonna bless them beyond belief.
