Just a quick update to everyone to let you know where things are right now
with the family I sent the Email on earlier:

First... a big thank you to those who have given a donation to help them
out.  You know who you are. (It's still not too late for the others to
give, if you haven't yet, but still want to).

If they come in on the bus tonight, I'll pick them up and I've met with the
President of CIRCL today and CIRCL is donating the money to put them up in
a motel room tonight.  Then the President of CIRCL (John Anderson) is going
to pick them up tomorrow morning at the motel and take them to the Homeless
Health Care Center in town, who will then hook them up with the Interfaith
Hospitality Network and hopefully get them some housing situated for the
next several weeks or until they're set with a job and a paycheck and a
place to live.

We'll keep you all posted on how things are.  Thank you again for those who
have helped and who have just offered an encouraging word.
