When people come together, help can be achieved. The Southern Ohio Community Outreach Coordinator, Trinity Davidson, received a call from a Masonic member stating that his sister and brother-in-law, Amy and John Walker, needed help in the 12th District. Before reaching out to the Masonic member, Trinity was contacted by Lodge secretary Troy Thacker. Troy knew of the needs of the family and wanted to see what The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center could do.
Trinity, Troy, and Amy Walker were able to work together over the phone to address immediate needs. John is facing some serious health issues requiring a lot of travel and medical attention. The resource center was able to provide a gas card to help cover the travel cost while John was in the hospital for rehabilitation. Once John was released to go back home, Troy and Trinity were able to meet with the Walker’s to dive deeper into their needs. The resource center and Black Diamond Lodge are working together on home modifications to make mobility easier for John. After talking more with the Walker’s, the resource center found needs that volunteers would be able to meet along the way. Trinity is working with the MVP members in the area to arrange additional help.
It is amazing and heart warming to see the multiple levels of the Masonic Fraternity come together to help a Brother and his wife out in their time of need.
