KYDR continues to deliver hay to Texas to share HELP, HOPE, and HEALING to those in crisis following the devastating wildfires. I am so thankful for the generosity of Kentuckians all over to donate nearly 400 bales of hay. Many volunteers have helped make this effort a reality.
Others may not have hay to donate, but it is very expensive to deliver hay so far away. Pray how you may give to help support this effort. You can give by visiting kybaptist.org/dr.
