God Will Defeat Trish's Brain Tumor

Patricia Ann Houp is my beautiful wife, partner and best friend. We have been married for 8 years, and have 3 gorgeous children together. Tylen is 7, Kameron is 6, and our beautiful baby girl Kaylin just turned 1 year old. Trish is an amazing wife, and even more incredible mother. She will, and has, give the shirt off of her back not only for her family, but to anyone in need. She regularly volunteers to help with the children's ministry and nursery at our church, and we have been blessed with an amazing church family who has helped us in so many areas of our marriage, children, and family in general. But some things are in need of more help than even the most blessed church can provide. Around the time that our daughter was born last year, Trish started having severe migraines and dizzy spells. Over the course of a few months, she was referred to specialists and neurologists whom brushed it off as "stress migranes". In January of this year, we got tired of getting the runaround and denied MRI's, so I took her into the E.R. and fought with them to have an emergency MRI done. When the results came in, we could not believe our ears. She was told she had a tennis ball sized brain tumor in her Cerebellum and that it was pressing on her spinal cord shaft causing the debillitating headaches and dizziness. Then they proceeded to tell me that if I would not have brought her in today, that she would not have made it much longer.That was alot to take in. She was rushed to MUSC and had surgery on 1/12/17. The surgeons stated that they did not get all of it out because of the severity of the area it is located, so a second surgery is now being done on 5/1/17. She has to be monitored 24/7, so I have had to leave my job and stay home to care for her and the kids. I try to work on cars from home when I can, but bills are piling up and the assistance we have recieved already cannot pay for everything. So I am setting this up in faith, knowing that God will lead those who can help to do so in any way they can. Please do whatever your heart leads you to do. If you cannot help financially, or already have all you can, than please tell everyone you can, contact me if you want to donate clothing, food or any other items that may help us. There are so many ways to help others, just follow your own heart. We thank everyone that has helped so far, and we know that God is in control, he will see her through this, and he will bless us and everyone we know in amazing ways. God bless you all, and please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.                                           Sincerely,                                     Jamie E. Houp
