Historic black church needs help

Donation protected
I am an 87 year old retired Pastor.  One half mile from my home is a historic black church that is having a difficult time.  Recently someone broke in and stole their electric keyboard piano and speaker system.  Their A/C unit was also stolen.  They paid three times for a roofer to stop a leak in their church roof, but it still leaked.  Now part of their ceiling has fallen into their sanctuary and black mold has spread in the ceiling there and over the foyer of their church.  They held services outside on the front steps until they can find a  way to handle all these problems.  And this week a rusting pock mark was discovered in their propane tank, which means the gas company cannot refill the tank.  A series of Pastors have driven members away, and the last one abscounded with  $600 from their small building fund.  In December 2016 they secured a new young Pastor that everyone is happy with, and the few members remaining are returning to the church.  They need $4,000 to help them cover these recent setbacks and succeed in reviving their church.  A recent new member experienced in repairs has helped determine their needs and wants to help even though his home was struck by lightening and burned down.  This Mt. Zion United Methodist Church 6 miles outside Coldspring, Texas is  trying very hard to survive.  I am seeking $4,000 through this Funding Website to help them where they need it most--a new propane tank costs $970; new roof $2000; ceiling repairs $1000.  They already have a new A/C;  and a regular piano.  With a few of us helping they can recover their church life.  Thank you for your consideration.
