I have tried to come up with some sort of summary or timeline but in itself it is too exhausting so I will try to give a concise Reader's Digest version, launch this "Hail Mary" and hope and pray for miracles.

Since Jeanette and I committed to buying a house and getting married, Their have been multiple surgeries, with an upcoming surgery, a Life Flight, job loss, denial of short term disability, roughly 120 Dr. appointments and gaining, refinancing the house, trying to consolidate massive debt that has accumulated, numerous ER visits, multiple threats of amputations, a softball sized mass, multiple hospitalizations of up to 3-4 weeks, lost work, recent mechanical failure of the steering in our Acura, an accident causing a broken arm, 4 months of wheelchair/no weight bearing and I could go on.

I did not want to put too high of a goal, but realized that the final decision to put 10,000, rather than 5 or 6 still won't overcome the Torrent that has shown no sign of letting up. We have endured more than even our closest family and friends are aware. After prayer and having to truly embrace Philippians 4:6-7, I am believing that this amount will provide the breathing room for another chance, If not, it may not be God's will for us to keep this house or perhaps stay in this valley.

We simply want a chance to keep our home, manage our debt, experience some peace and a chance to experience just some of the joyful parts of embarking on our marriage, We had ministry goals, and many things we planned on enjoying that were never extravagant that have been tossed to the wind.

Our credit is still good but we have exhausted every option and have been sort of sidelined in a big way.

We have never done anything like this before. We are not trolling for sympathy or trying to be dramatic. If you are not led to donate or can not, it is OK, we do ask to please share and ask to re-share and we will see the answer from above and accept it whatever it may be. God Bless you all and thank you for all of the help, love and support we have received. There are many in the world suffering far more. We find it hard to believe God's purpose was to marry us and bless us with this home only to be attacked and lose it all, unless it's part of a journey we do not understand to lead somewhere else.
