Please help Jeff and I support our cousin’s daughter, Anna Claire Rose Crites. Anna Claire is a beautiful 18 year old girl who has a well dreamed life ahead of her. Anna Claire’s journey started in the winter of 2019 with a broken bone in her foot. She had big dreams (and had been accepted) in dental hygiene school when she graduated from high school. Due to all that she’s been through and continuing she had to put that on hold. Anna Claire is one of the sweetest, smartest, loving, compassionate, servant of the Lord you will ever know. We’ve watched she and her family the past couple of years go through absolute misery trying to figure out what was wrong with her. We’ve all shed so many tears on her behalf and prayed so many prayers for God’s healing and Grace. Jeff and I ask any of our Facebook friends who are able to consider helping this precious family that we love so much with upcoming medical expenses to help improve Anna Claire’s condition. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts A summary of Anna Claire’s journey is below::
