Help a Family in Need

Donation protected
I am setting up this fund for my brother, Josh Brown and his family.  They actually dont know I set this up.  Ive been praying for a way that I can help them right now in their current situation and I feel tha God has led me here.  

A little backround for you:  My brother Josh is an extremly hard working man, has always been the sole provider for his family.  His wife, Chanda, and him are ON FIRE for the Lord and have done their best to follow God's Word.  God has blessed them with 7 beautiful children ranginf from age 6mo-11.  Chanda homeschools all their children while Josh works as a auto tech at Lexus.  Ive always been so proud of my brother because he has taught me that even though times get hard and seem like there is no hope, you put your faith in God and JUST PRAY!   

A few days ago my brother sent me an email.  I would like to share what it said:

Dear Family and Friends,
So the Brown family has had a crazy past couple of days. I wanted to fill you guys in on what's been happening, Let you know how you can be praying for us, and more importantly, to set the stage on which God is very obviously about act.

So yesterday as Chanda was going to pick up the four older kids from vbs, she was backing out of the driveway and realized she forgot something. She put it in park, ran in the house, ran back out and heard the 3 little kids screaming and the van rolling backwards, down our driveway, across the street, headed for the house down the hill across the street. Well, the open drivers door hit the mailbox post and stopped the van safely, with only the drivers door folded completely forward touching the fender. We called our neighbor Shari who just happened to be cleaning a house right next to where the older kids were at vbs, and she brought them home.

Then, yesterday as Chanda was going to pick them up from vbs again, she was at the stoplight on main st. right in front of target, when a car slams into her from behind, pushing the van into the suv in front of them. Chanda was disoriented and possibly in and out of consciousness for a few minutes, when someone told her to pull over and turn the car off cause it was leaking fluids. She called me and I ran out of work and picked up the kids from vbs and met Chanda and the other kids. On my way, I called our neighbor Shari again, who just happened to be at McDonalds, right there where the wreck was, so she went to help Chanda right away.

Chanda can give you more details, and there definitely was a ton of miracles and stuff that God was doing in the moment that we will share in person, but here is the prayer request part. The van is totaled. Chanda and all the kids are stuck at the house with no vehicle, and it may be a little while before we get anything out of insurance, plus the van was worth only about $2000-2500. So now we REALLY need another van, and the Lord is going to have to provide. The kids are super bummed that they can't go to vbs, and to throw more on top of it all, I am supposed to go to Atlanta for work all next week.

Lots of prayer needed, lots of room for God to show off available.

Love you guys, and we are grateful for your friendship and prayer.

Love,
The brown family



With this said, I have researched Craigslit and looks like a van would cost about $5,000 so im asking anyone who can help me donate to this fund would be an act of love.  God will work his wonders and Im putting my faith and trust in Him to provide.
