Local Church in need from Foreclosure
Man this really bothers me and gets to my heart. No, you do not have to be religious, or a church goer to see the symbolism of this story. On my local news KNTV in San Jose's Scott B. from
Upper Room Church in Hayward
The "Tech Report"reports a local church The Upper Room Church in Hayward is in foreclosure asking viewers if they could help in someway.
I applaud Scott's efforts for spreading the word on this Churche's financial hardships. It does bother me tho, that a small Church is in trouble, with no help offered?
No, I'm not talking about us hard working people that barely afford the rent, but corporate giants like, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Oracle offering no help. We are in the heart of Silicon Valley people, we have "Big Money" here. Damn, Google and others make billions of dollars a year, can they not offer some money into the kitty for this lil neighborhood Church? These are our neighbors-Hayward's just a roll away across the bay.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not picken on Google as if I could, but I am always on their search engines researching stuff, can they not put all my clicks and everyone else's here in the Bay area to good use and help bail out this Church?
You know Google makes bank outta us, why not give back? Use this opportunity
"Corporate Giant's" to help the lil guy, a small church. You can write it off and everyone wins!
I'm telling you if I had the monies I'd call em up and offer my financial support.
Charity begins at home people and if you can help your neighborhood, well that's a blessing to you. I hope someone comes to their rescue, on this Christmas eve.

Hi my name is Tammy Rodriguez, I am the Youth Pastor at The Upper Room Church, I just want to thank you for showing your support for us. I really appreciate it, You are so right about the mega corporations, they can help but chose not to. If just one can help, wow we would be out of this bind. Bill Gates foundations emailed me and told me that they can not help us at all, we don't meet there standards! So that just goes to show you what we are up against. But I just thank you so very, very much!! I know something good is coming our way. May God bless you abundantly!

Hi just want to say thank you for your support. We appreciate all that you are doing to get the word out. You are so right, I emailed Bill Gates foundation and they denied me any type of funds, they said we do not meet there standards! So that is what we are up against. Well thank you very much and we are praying that God blesses you abundantly.

Thank you for bringing the Upper Room Church to the forfront, I really appreciate it. Just to let you know that I emailed Bill Gates foundation and they rejected our cry for help. I guess we don't meet there standards. But I thank you for saying some nice things about us, I hope that we get the help that we need.
Thanks again,
Tammy Rodriguez

Sorry I posted so many, I am not good at doing this computer thing. Well we are doing all we can to get what we need, you know we are all feeling the crunch of the economy that is why we are in this situation. But I am very hopeful! We are going to have a Praise a thon next saturday the 12th I believe so I am going to try to get the media and alot of gospel groups out so that we can save our church. People can bring a donation at the same time. Hey at this point we got to do what ever it takes.
Thanks again, you have been awesome!

I can't believe that even Church would have a chance to be foreclosure. But at some point, I believe that this will be save by the religious ones
