Gayle and Steve's Story
FAITH AND COMMITMENT
I would like to share a story of my beautiful sister Gayle, and her husband Steve. No matter what life has placed in their path, their commitment has remained steadfast throughout their marriage of 35 years. As we know, life isn’t always kind, nor fair, but we grow with each experience and hold close each joy for the blessing it is.
Over the past sixteen years, Steve was met with some challenging occurrences, starting with triple bypass heart surgery in 2000. Then, in May 2014, a very risky but successful abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, a surgery with a 50/50 chance of survival. However, his kidneys began to show signs of deterioration due to his coronary heart disease. Still, their faith never wavered. In January 2015, Gayle donated a healthy kidney to her husband at the University of Wisconsin. Steve now takes approximately (29) pills per day to maintain his health but you won’t hear them complain.
Steve is now a disabled veteran. In July 2016, Gayle’s employer sold their company and she lost her accounting position. Her unemployment is depleted. She has applied for new positions with several employment agencies but we all know that it doesn’t take but one month to fall behind. Their fifteen year old automobile is becoming less dependable and Gayle needs safe transportation when she finds her new position. Medical insurance is essential for Gayle to provide Steve with any necessary life saving medications or hospital stays.
Sometimes there are good people who just fall on hard times and need a helping hand. A chance to get back on their feet. This post is my plea for funds to assist Gayle and Steve with their immediate financial needs. No donation is too small and will be greatly appreciated . I thank you for taking the time to read their story and God Bless.
