A Gift To The Grove

Hi, my name is Justin and I made the documentary The Grove which is streaming on Revry. In the film, Pastors Jeff and Jodi Helpman and the courageous members of The Grove community in Bryson City, NC tell their story of becoming a fully inclusive (to the LGBTQ community) church. The past few years have been tough for this community and for the Helpmans in particular. Membership has fallen and offerings have dipped very low. They could use some of the care that they so freely give reflected back to them. This holiday season it would mean more than you know if we could give back to this generous, loving community.

My goal is simple: to provide a salary and operating costs for one month so that money isn't in the way of The Grove and The Helpmans fully celebrating Christmas. If we make more, woo-hoo! Every single dime will go directly to them and be put to good use.

If you have seen The Grove documentary, know and love The Helpmans, or just feel moved to support good folks, would you please consider donating? Any amount helps.

With sincere gratitude and hope,

Justin Baker

P.S. The Grove and The Helpmas DO NOT know that I am creating this and have in no way asked me to do this. If you personally know them, please do not tell them as we are trying to make this a surprise, if possible.
