Thanksgiving 2020 for Hopelink Kenmore Place
Due to COVID-19, Hopelink has suspended all donations of physical items to their facilities. They do not have staff to sanitize everything that comes in. Instead, they are asking for monetary donations.

Thanksgiving still happens. Church of the Redeemer and Holy Apostles will again be supplying Thanksgiving Baskets in the form of a $100 Safeway grocery card. Each family can fill their own Thanksgiving Food Basket. The cards will be given to the residents on Monday, November 23, to give them time to shop.

Donations may be made in any amount, no matter how small. You can fund an entire basket or any portion thereof.

If you choose to donate online (from Giving at the top of this page), please specify Shelter-Thanksgiving from the To list. For checks, send them to PO Box 82677, Kenmore, WA 98028, with “Shelter-Thanksgiving” in the memo.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to see that these families have enough at this time of year.

Knit Hats for Seafarers

If you are looking for an at-home way to make a difference in the lives of essential workers, the Seattle Seafarers’ Center can use your help. They are running low on their signature hand-knit hats to distribute to ship workers that come to the Port of Seattle.

Though cruise season has been interrupted due to the pandemic, cargo ships are still sailing. The Seattle Seafarers’ Center is working to meet as many seafarers as possible in a safe manner.

To download the hat pattern, visit Knitting & Sewing Groups.

The Mission to Seafarers has given Redeemer yarn to make hats. If you would like some yarn, contact Fr. Jed at rector@redeemer-kenmore.org.

Seattle Seafarers Center

Seafarers play a vital role in our daily lives. We depend on them to bring us food, electronic items, raw materials, and other essential cargo. In addition, we depend on the seafarers to ship our exports overseas to help pay for the imports. Without ships and seafarers, trade would cease and our lives would be almost unrecognizable.

Seafarers need us. The reality of working at sea is that it is the third most hazardous occupation, due to natural elements and piracy. The work takes seafarers away from their homes and families for months at a time. While at sea they are isolated. When in port, they often find themselves alienated by language and culture. Moreover, under the Homeland Security rules, shore leave in the United States is often difficult to obtain.

The crews on the commercial ships that call at the Port of Seattle come from many different countries, each with its own culture and religious beliefs. The average crew is made up of about 20-25 seafarers who often speak several different languages. This leads to isolation and loneliness.

It is the Seattle Seafarers Center’s privilege to welcome all seafarers while they are in Seattle. Our chaplain and ship visitor visit ships and arrange transportation to the Center or for shopping in the city. The Center has computers for their use and is wired for Wi-Fi. When seafarers are not allowed to leave their ship, the Center brings SIM cards to them so that they can call home while in port. If needed, they also offer to do any necessary shopping for them.

Redeemer’s Tanzania outreach update

People from Church of the Redeemer continue to make a difference to those who need our help, even in these days of physical separation from each other.

In 2018, the Vestry and Church of the Redeemer requested a diocesan Global Mission Grant to provide scholarships for a nursing and midwifery program in rural Tanzania. Thanks to the generosity of the Diocese of Olympia and Redeemer’s outreach funds, two young women were studying nursing at the Kilimatinde Nurses’ and Midwives’ Training School.

When COVID-19 forced closure of the school campus and the students were sent home to continue their education remotely, these young women had no access to computers. Because of our outreach commitment to them, the Vestry voted to wire $2100 to the school for the purchase of 2 laptop computers for these women to continue their education. We received word in late June 2020 that the transfer of funds is complete, and the students can now continue their education.

Lee Darrow, Senior Warden of Church of the Redeemer, said, “I want to thank you for all that you do to support outreach in both our community and the world!”

Kilimatinde Nurses’ and Midwives Training School

The Kilimatinde Nurses’ and Midwives’ Training School is one of the first and oldest Nursing schools in Tanzania. They began to offer a certificate in Nursing in 1965.

It offers training in Nursing and Midwifery according to the National Health Training policy. The training syllabus is prepared by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (Human Resource Development department) in collaboration with the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE). Training duration is two (2) years.

This training school is a ministry of Anglican Diocese of Rift Valley in Tanzania.

Reflections on my first CRE Foot Washing

This is a reflection by Bob Chapman.

The foot washing at the annual Community Resource Exchange, sponsored by United Way of King County, is a vital part of the DNA of Church of the Redeemer. Inspired by the vision of Emily Austin, this congregation took this ministry to its very core.

Foot washing is who we are.

I had wanted to participate in this since I first came to Redeemer in September 2010. However, when part of the “gig economy,” I did not get time off with pay for any reason, whether illness, company holiday, or social good. That changed when I moved to direct employment in December 2017.

So, on March 20, 2018, I was there. It was my time to participate.

Here are some thoughts I had from that day.

The advanced foot care team are rock stars

Everyone works hard. Very hard. However, the advanced foot care people work a bit longer and harder. And, with less attention.

No one really wanted their feet washed until after 10:00 am. The guests have more important things to do when the doors first open. Get a new pair of shoes. Apply for a job. Find a housing voucher. Get a haircut.

And, get advanced foot care.

The advanced foot care team was busy pretty much from the start. I don’t think those volunteers took much of a break the whole day, even for lunch. Someone brought food and drink to them. They worked right up to closing at 2:00 pm. Then, they had to pack their tools of the trade and carry them to their cars.

I think that only Emily works harder.

Look around before it gets busy

I knew about many of the services being offered that day for those experiencing homelessness. I didn’t necessarily know where they were being offered inside the Century Link Field Event Center. That is why I had no idea where to apply for a housing voucher when asked.

There was no requirement to know this information. However, it would have been nice.

A lot is accomplished by people working hard

Washington State DSHS was next door to us. I talked to their manager. He said that he is manages the DSHS Belltown office, where they normally see about 300 people a day. With half the staff at the Community Resource Exchange, they helped the same number of people, finishing by 2:00 pm.

There are people in red shirts who are there to solve problems. We needed folding extra folding chairs to create a waiting area for advanced foot care. While we initially borrowed chairs from DSHS, they needed their waiting area, too. When I said what we needed to a red shirt, she found enough chairs for us, one or two at a time.

You could see efforts like this all around.

It is fun to call someone by their first name unexpectedly

Most of us, guests and volunteers, were wearing name tags. After a while, when I asked if a person needed their toes trimmed, feet washed, or wanted one of the foot care kits we had to pass out, I addressed that person by their first name.

Of course, no one expected it. It made a good ice breaker to start a conversation.

My “gotcha” moment

Most people have at least one “gotcha” moment if you go. It isn’t a requirement, but it is typical.

In my case, I asked a guest if he needed his toes trimmed or advanced foot care. (You ask this first, because the advanced foot care people cannot do their magic after the toenails are wet.) The reply was that he lost his toes to frostbite recently. That, and how wonderful it was to find a pair of shoes that comfortably fit. He emphasized the positive with the new shoes.

So, I asked if maybe he would want to have his feet washed, instead. I didn’t know how recently this had happened. However, he was still in wound care and couldn’t get his dressings wet.

As a person with a long history with wound care resulting from radiation when I had cancer, I had my moment to think about how my experience would have been different if I was experiencing homelessness.

The people at Redeemer can be proud of where this is today

Foot washing at the Community Resource Exchange started with Redeemer, and we are still heavily invested in it. While Redeemer was the pioneer, the people and work of the Foot Soul Team come from more than Redeemer today.

The Foot Soul Team is a steering committee to organize foot washing annually at the United Way of King County’s Community Resource Exchange. This ministry has participants from many regional faith communities.

Just as the Foundation for Academic Endeavors in Mount Vernon grew out of another Earley Outreach Fund project at Redeemer, the foot washing at the CRE has grown to be something much more.

I intend to be back next year. After all, it is in Redeemer’s DNA. Hopefully you can join in.

Redeemer and Hopelink Kenmore Place
Church of the Redeemer has a long-term relationship with Hopelink Kenmore Place (formerly the Kenmore Family Shelter). For the past 30 years, people at Redeemer has provided support for Kenmore Place. The support includes the following:
- Christmas gifts and food
- School backpacks
- Thanksgiving food
- Emergency gas and food cards
Kenmore Place and its programs have changed over the years. It used to be a short-term residency. Now, the population remains at there for 6 to 12 months while the residents look for permanent housing and work.

One third of the current residents are there because a major medical problem caused the family to lose their housing. One third are in Kenmore Place as a result of domestic violence.

There is a mix of couples and single parents. All of the families have children under 18.

The residents appreciate the holiday food and gifts. “They helped me have a better Christmas than the one we had when we weren’t homeless. It was a beautiful day. I was worry free. The kids smiled for days,” said one resident.

Another said, “Tell them that on behalf of myself and my son.”

A couple of members of the congregation met with the current case manager to discuss ways we can continue to be of assistance. In addition to our ongoing assistance, residents need the following:
- Feminine hygiene products
- Queen sized sheets (gently used is OK)
- Cutlery
These items can be donated anytime at Redeemer in the box in the parish hall.

Hopelink runs Kenmore Place. They have, and continue to, express their appreciation of our ongoing relationship.

Breanne Overton at Mosoj Yan

My name is Breanne Overton. I am the person that many of you have been receiving emails regarding my trip to Mosoj Yan. That email could have been an update, a plea for donations, or dealing with insurance matters.

I was sent to Bolivia in September 2012 on behalf of the Earley Outreach Fund at Church of the Redeemer. This journey started when I received an email around May 2012 with the description of someone to volunteer three months with Mosoj Yan in Bolivia.

There was no way I was looking to leave my job or even Seattle. However, after lots of reflecting, I chose to follow the Spirit. That led me all the way down to Cochabamba, Bolivia. And, it was not for three months, but for seven months.

So, how was it?

“So, How was it?” Now that I’m home from Mosoj Yan, this is the all-too-common question I first get as I run into people I know.

“Well, how were the last seven months of your life?” I want to say that, but try not to.

The most honest way to answer “how was it” when brevity is key is this:

It was a life-changing experience. I worked with some girls at Mosoj Yan that will never leave my heart. I had some really hard times, and some really good ones. I made new friends, found a new sense of identity in a different culture and in a different language. I went on trips. And now, I miss it more than most people can understand.

When I arrived in Mosoj Yan

When I arrived in Bolivia, I met with the volunteer director of Mosoj Yan. It was decided that, because I was a Pre-K teacher, I could be some sort of tutor with the girls at Albergue, the safe house for young girls who have been sexually abused.

Within a few weeks of showing up every day, I felt so out of place. I felt SO tall, SO white, SO blonde, and was SO insecure about my ideas to “help.”

I decided to casually show up and see what I could do. Most days it was listening to some of the more trivial problems they were having with other girls living there. Or, I peeled potatoes to help them with their daily chores as we danced (and I translated) to Radio Disney.

Wet hair in the morning leads to an idea

Bre and happy swimmers at Mosoj Yan in Bolivia during Christmas, 2012

It was only a matter of time until I started showing up at in the mornings with wet hair. This is because I had found a swimming pool. The wet hair created a lot of interest with the girls and even the staff at Albergue.

So, I started to think that maybe I can do more than translate Justin Beiber songs and playing with little Susy. I had conversations with the staff at Albergue and the director of the pool where I swam to see what ideas we could imagine.

After speaking with Hermano Tino at Albergue, I learned he was enthusiastic about getting the girls in the pool. However, he couldn’t afford it. I think his literal translation was, “I can provide you the girls, but the rest would be up to you.”

After speaking with Jimmy at the pool, he said he could provide the pool, but the rest was up to me.

I would teach and drive the girls to the pool. They could wear second-hand suits, and didn’t really need goggles.

So it looked like we just needed some money. So, thanks to the mini-grant I received monthly by staying with Sustainable Bolivia, things moved along and we were in the pool.

The girls were loving it! I didn’t want things to stop when I ran out of money or I had to come back to the States. So, I started to feel guilty, again.

So, we created the First Annual Solidarity Swim. The goal was $1,500 to support one year of swimming with a Bolivian instructor. On November 22, 2012 (Thanksgiving weekend in the United States), I swam alone in Cochabamba. However, I also with others in Seattle, Portland, Arizona, Georgia, and even Germany. In the end, the final count was $4,300. The girls at Mosoj Yan now all have their very own suit, cap, and goggles. They also will be swimming for at least two more years!

There was more than swimming at Mosoj Yan

Breanne Overton describing self portraits

That sums up what I “did” there, but creating a swimming program didn’t take up my whole time at Mosoj Yan. I linked with other volunteers and was able to create some pretty memorable moments with them at Mosoj Yan.

The girls worked with an artist from Kentucky to make their very own self-portraits. They danced with a dance instructor from Colorado, incorporating dance therapy into a dance sequence to show off in Cochabamba. And, because I was constantly talking about the girls and how angry I was about the lack of support they had, one friend from Germany and another from Belgium linked up and were able to pay for and install solar panels at Albergue.

Back in Seattle

These stories are memorable and exciting to share. However, what really tattooed my heart was the relationships I shared with those young ladies. Their lives are being transformed at Albergue from something tragic and painful into something they can be proud of and be happy doing. I can’t even explain how I am changed by their presence in my life for the those seven months. I am still uncovering layers and learning the meaning of it all.

I am still in contact with them and love getting updates. I am currently working on a project with Hermano Tino to get a sponsorship program set up so that people in the United States can become involved with these beautiful stories and heroines of transformation at Mosoj Yan.

So, I am here in Seattle, feeling raw and broken from this experience. However, I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to turn my world upside down by seeing another part of the world’s population.
