Support for Matt's Heart Surgery and Recovery

We are thankful to God for the  donation of a loan that will bridge the gap for the upfront payment of $230,000 required by Northwestern Hospital for Matthew’s heart surgery until the Christian Healthcare Ministry cost sharing group (the Pieters are a part of) can reimburse them for that part of the expense after the surgery.  All donations given will go to the extra expenses the Pieters will incur as a result of the surgery and rehabilitation needed.  A few have asked specifically what the heart surgery is for because this news has been very sudden.  Matthew has an aortic aneurysm and will receive aortic replacement surgery.  We are grateful to everyone for all of your support & care during this difficult time!  
The Pieters would like you to know that if more is given than needed after all the rehabilitation is complete, they will be donating the remainder to Christian Healthcare Ministries because of their great ministry to people who have medical needs.
