Catherine's New Wings

Donation protected
For those of you that know my sister Catherine, you know that she is selfless. You probably also know that she has struggled for 6 years with an undiagnosed medical condition that has robbed her of a lot of the things we take easily for granted like eating a meal with ease, getting dressed on our own, walking stably ... the list goes on.

We have found a clinic in Florida that is confident they can help my sister with a variety of treatments. The cost of the treatments alone will be approximately $83,000 Canadian dollars. With living accommodations, food and transportation for 3 months, we will need roughly $116,500 to make this happen for Catherine. If you are able to give, we would be so very grateful from the very bottoms of our hearts! If you cannot give, please pray. We believe in a Father who does miraculous things for his children that he loves so dearly, and we would covet your prayers. Her first treatment will begin March 4th, 2024. We want to see Catherine fly with new wings!

Here is Catherine's story in her own words:

Hi everyone! As you already know, my name is Catherine Plett. I am married to my wonderful husband Shawn Plett, and have three awesome sons!

I’d like to share some of my story with you and take you along on my journey so to speak.

Approximately six years ago, I noticed that I kept clenching my left fist, and I thought to myself must be a pinched nerve. Little did I know what the road ahead would look like for me and that, unfortunately, it was much more than a pinched nerve. A clenched fist turned into a clenched arm, which in turn started to travel down my leg on my left side, and eventually started spreading to my right side. The medical community had no idea what was wrong with me and said there was nothing that could be done. I lost the ability to sing and play piano and ukulele, to travel and do ministry as I had been previously doing, singing, and testifying in my church, prisons, and on the First Nations reserves. I wasn’t able to walk much more than the length of my house at a time and I wasn’t able to drive either. I lost my sense of balance, and my ability to chew food and therefore lost a lot of weight and strength. Much to my dismay I was put on several different medication‘s, so I could somewhat function and sleep at night. It felt like my life came to a grinding halt and I guess it did.

I asked the Lord “What now?” and he instructed me to begin ministering and prophesying and encouraging people online and begin doing natural treatments in Winnipeg. Through the natural treatments, they found that I had lyme disease, toxins, parasites, mold, and very many heavy metals from the drinking water. These treatments along with a prayer force from my church, family, and friends kept me in the game and improved some of my symptoms greatly but unfortunately the constant tremors and my ability to walk remained a constant struggle, and if I’m completely honest, slowly got worse day by day.

Rewind to a year ago and I had a dream that my sister and I flew to Florida to a clinic that could help me which I thought was an odd dream. I never even told my sister about it. Several days later she messaged me and asked me if I ever would consider going to a clinic in Florida that she had found. I was in shock! It was exactly like in my dream! I called and found them to be very capable and knowledgeable, but it was also an expensive treatment, so I figured I would go without and continue to march on in faith.

At the turn of the new year 2024 I got really sick and I couldn’t walk without Shawn, holding my hands and leading me. I couldn’t get dressed myself or climb into bed myself either. It was a very disappointing start to the new year and the toll of my six-year battle seemed overwhelming mentally emotionally and of course, physically. I suddenly began to think about going back to the clinic in Florida again so I asked Lord for a divine word from him so I would know with 100% certainty that that is what he wanted me to do and boy did he ever answer that prayer! I prayed for a week with no confirmation and then I said Lord, this is stressing me out. I’m gonna stop asking and I’m just gonna trust you to tell me what to do. The very next day I spoke on the phone with the clinic to inquire if they had any openings and as soon as I hung up, I received a message from someone that I haven’t seen in 10+ years saying that they had been praying for me and had felt that I was to go to a medical clinic somewhere in the US that dealt with toxins and mould and parasites, etc., and that God wanted to heal me spirit, soul and body. I was completely shocked! While my mind was still reeling, I received a message from a friend in the Maritimes, whom I haven’t seen in five years or more sharing with me that she felt that I should be close to the ocean and the clinic is right on the ocean! Several hours later, a pastor friend of mine messaged me and said he had been praying for me, and he had seen me flying out of the country to get medical help. I was so overwhelmed with gratefulness to God for answering my prayers so clearly! I knew it was expensive and I knew I would be away from my family for three months but now I had the assurance that this is what the Lord wanted for me so I knew he would make a way! This butterfly was going to get her wings back so she could fly again and fulfil the call of God on her life! And that’s where you come in! As I was saying, these new wings of mine are pretty expensive lol, so I’m humbly asking if you would be able to financially partner with me in this journey so I can get my life back and fly again! I am deeply thankful and grateful for every dollar you can donate and every prayer that you pray for me! There aren’t enough English words, to convey the depths of my thankfulness to you! I pray that every dollar would come back to you 100-fold and continue to multiply for God’s glory! Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I pray God‘s richest blessings over every one of you! With much love and thankfulness, Catherine.
