From Crisis to Calm – Support Her Year in Seminary
Donation protected
The past few years have been filled with unexpected hardship. Our youngest son was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and required multiple heart surgeries, hospital stays, and intense care. During that time, we had to step away from work, leading to income instability.
Then in 2020, the challenges multiplied when my husband contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalized for 9 weeks, followed by a long road of rehabilitation. These years have taken a toll emotionally, physically, and financially.
Why We're Asking for Help:
Despite it all, we’ve worked hard to stay grounded and hopeful for our family’s future. Our daughter has been a quiet pillar of strength through all of this. Now, as she reaches this important transitional stage of life, we want to give her something we couldn’t during those years: peace, growth, and time to heal.
She has been accepted to a beautiful seminary program in Prague, and it’s more than just school—it’s a chance to breathe, grow spiritually and emotionally, and step into adulthood with confidence.
We’re asking for your help to cover her tuition and expenses for the year. Anything you can contribute will go directly toward:
- Tuition and school fees
- Flights and basic travel costs
- Basic living essentials while abroad
- Travel insurance and emergency fund
How You Can Help:
Please consider donating whatever you can. Even small amounts make a big difference! And if you're unable to give, just sharing this with others is a huge help.
