A Special Gift Delivered on May 24th

8 months ago
John and Beverly McNeil with Francis Watkins and Paula Richardson.

Saturday, May 24, Portraits of Hope had the incredible joy of presenting a completely 
refurbished car to Francis Watkins! In partnership with First Fruits Ministries, this moment was truly heartwarming. Francis was overwhelmed with joy, gratitude, and thankfulness for the gift of reliable transportation.

She shared how life-changing this will be—enabling her to get to work, pick up her grandchildren, and regain the independence that so many of us take for granted.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! Special thanks to Steve Wingate for his invaluable expertise in car maintenance and management, and to Paula Richardson for her tireless coordination between First Fruits Ministries, Portraits of Hope, and The Lovelady Center.

Together, we’re changing lives—one car at a time. W
