The curse of the Irish? Seven years bad luck? Third times a charm? Who knows, but Addison Road has struck out again! On the way home from a show late Tuesday night we got in a wreck with an oak tree that had just fallen into the road due to some rain and storms. The oak tree won. The van is out of service for a minimum of 3 weeks and once again we find ourselves headed into a tour with no transportation.
In the 8 year history of Addison Road we have never EVER asked our family, friends, or fans to financially support us, but today, we are asking.
We need $3,000 to rent a van for the Sanctus Real tour that begins next Friday… otherwise ARoad will be out of commission. We in fact realize that this is not bad luck, rather, we believe it to be directly from the one that seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. Every time we as a band set out to make God’s name known, to love on people, to bring hope to those who are hurting through our music, and to be God’s hands and feet, we find that every area of our lives are attacked. And that poor van gets the brunt of it! We count it pure joy to find ourselves in the midst of such attacks and rely heavily on your prayers… and today… your financial support. With so many obstacles, we are more convinced than ever that in the spiritual realm, there is someone who does not want us doing what we are about to do. Little does he know… we cannot be stopped that easily.
Another way you can help… If you have access to a van that can pull a trailer for about three weeks and would be willing to let us borrow/rent, please let us know. That could also be an amazing way that you can help us.
Love you guys and appreciate all of your prayers and support. We will keep you updated.

**Donation has been removed** Thank You So Much! **
So sorry to hear about you van. Things like this really do tend challenge your faith at times.
I want to tell you that your music has brought both me and my family great joy this year, when I was going through a challenge of a different sort. I want to help out and I’m sure that others feel the same way I do.
God will see that your fund-raising goals are fulfilled.
Regards,

So sorry to hear about your plight! If people donate, do they get a tax deduction? Im sure people would much rather help you reach the world for Christ than give it to Uncle Sam to give to poorly run companies. If you can’t receive tax deductible contributions, you may want to check this organization out, they can help! http://www.actinternational.org
Great folks with a real heart to serve musicianaries like your group. All the best!
[...] Addison Road Needs Your Help By carianddale Jenny Simmons, the lead singer of Addison Road, explains it all in her blog post. [...]
Saw you at Six Flags New England…I’m a now huge fan…”What do I know of Holy” is one of the greatest song ever!!!
Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. – James 1:2-4
That is so easy to write when it doesn’t happen to you.
saw a tweet from MercyMe that you guys needed some help… sorry to hear that you were involved in an accident, hope and pray that everyone is doing well and unhurt. Please let us know how your fund raising goes… if you need more, we’ll dig deeper. Much Love, God Bless!
How much do you need? We live in Summerville and would love to see you guys make it to faith assembly of God.
God bless!
So sorry to hear about the accident and the loss of transportation. We are praying hard that the money comes through soon. I have been off work for 3 months or sure would sent some cash along your way. The music ministry you have is fabulous and love your music.
Jenny or Ryan . . . call me. You’ve got my card when you were here last week.
Praying & seeing what amount I can give. I love you guys! I can’t give a lot, but it is from the heart.
