Meet Alyson from League City, Texas: she’s a single mom with a big heart, a fierce faith, and a knack for making the most out of every dollar (even when her dad thought she was crazy for it).

👋 It all started with a bold donation. A few years back, during a pledge drive, Alyson took a financial leap of faith and donated $365, a dollar a day, even though her budget was already razor thin. Her dad wasn’t thrilled (“What is wrong with you?”), but Alyson trusted God. And, surprise, surprise (or not), God came through. She unexpectedly received even more money than she had given. Coincidence? Nope. Not in God’s playbook. 🙌💸

🚗 Fast forward to today… Alyson reflects on the early days of juggling single motherhood, online school, and side gigs like grocery delivery: driving around in the dark while praying the Rosary. Her constant prayer? “Lord, I need a good job. With good pay. And benefits.” Guess what? He delivered.

Now, she’s got a stable 9-to-5 job, benefits, and even gets to her desk early because, as she told her boss, “I’m boring. I have no life, so I’m here at 7:30.” 😂 She listens to Relevant Radio every morning, prays the Rosary during work, and bows her head during the prayers, even with her office door closed. (Commitment level: 💯)

💡 Her advice? Simple, but powerful:

Stop carrying the weight alone. Christ already did that on the cross.

Offer it up. (Yes, Mom was right all along.)

Figure out your purpose. God’s got a plan for you.

And most importantly… trust Him. Even when it feels like you’re running on empty: physically, emotionally, or financially, He’s got this.

 

Alyson’s story is a beautiful reminder that God works through Relevant Radio because of your generous donation, turning acts of faith into life-changing blessings.

🎙️ Her final pitch?

“Why wouldn’t you want to support something that helps people like me? Pray about it. Trust God. And give if you can, even if it’s just a dollar a day. He’ll take care of the rest.” 💖
