Have you ever experienced a flash flood?  One moment you're on dry land, and in the next you're up to your knees in rain water that has nowhere else to go.  The basement becomes a fountain, the yard becomes a lake, and as you watch the ruin, the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming.

With the volatile spring and early summer we've experienced here in the midwest, flash flood warnings seem to be constant.  Images of the damage pop up almost daily on the news.  Rescue teams and volunteers are shown helping the neighbors in their community try to cope with their loss and restore some sense of normalcy.

At Administer Justice, we deal in a different kind of flash flood relief, but it's no less devastating.   It's the sudden plunge into poverty caused by spousal abandonment, fraud, identity theft, debilitating illness, job loss, etc.

Some of the people who come to us have lost so much that they don't even know where they'll sleep tonight.  Mothers are skipping dinner so their kids don't have to.  Others aren't completely "under water", but they will be if they don't have legal protection and intervention.

We can provide the spiritual assurance that no matter how deep the troubles, God can lift them onto the highest Rock (see Psalm 27:5).  But we also need to help them navigate the frightening flood waters until they finally recede.

If you are fortunate to be standing on dry land, maybe you could join the rescue team of supporters and volunteers who come along side us as we give help to the helpless.   Our wait time to see an attorney is rising again, and we could use some "sandbags" of financial support to raise a wall of legal advocacy around our neighbors in need.

Can you imagine losing everything in the blink of an eye?
