Florentia Knoell - God's Little Miracle

Dear Friends and Family,

Thousands of you have joined together to storm heaven with prayers for Florentia. We have witnessed God's healing grace lifting her out of her slumber. Seeing those gentle eyes looking up at John and Drea, and the incredible gift of her smile that was instantaneously contagious to anyone that saw the pictures and videos - Talitha Koum. As you can imagine, it has been a draining rollercoaster of emotions and physical demands for John and Drea. Prayers and messages are felt daily and are pouring in from across the country, so please keep sharing this story with everyone you know to continue asking for God's amazing grace. The meal train and local support have been incredible, knowing things are being taken care of on the home front by many local family and friends. In Drea's words: "My mama heart gets put at ease hearing all you are doing for them."

On top of the meals and prayers, some have been reaching out personally with financial support which is deeply appreciated. We decided to send this out and give everyone that opportunity. We have established this website for John and Drea to help cover any medical expenses, gas, meals, hotel stays, flying in family members for support or whatever else they need with zero worry about the impact. For those not on social media, you all can continue to join us in this journey on https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/prayersforflorentia .

On behalf of John and Drea and our little angel Florentia, please continue those prayers and may you and your family receive the same graces that God has provided to this family for your amazing faith and love. God bless.
