Aloha family, Emerald has her dates for her San Francisco doctor appointment. It's going to be October 18th through the 25th. We have been really struggling to keep up with our daily bills and flying back and forth to queens hospital for testing that is useless! I myself have been working two jobs, along with side jobs over 70+ hours a week just to try and keep up. We could really use your prayers and support. The main thing is always prayer! God will never forsake us he always blesses us abundantly. So please keep us in your prayers and if you can donate money or anything for that matter that would be very much welcomed.

God bless you guys.
From the Emerald and Ches Felmley Ohana.

Thankyou to everyone that has supported me in trying to get me to seek much needed medical attention and cover additional expenses. A lesion was found in my brain in the area that controls our speech. My doctors have referred me to now go to Seattle instead of UCSF as originally planned. I humbly ask for donations to assist in this process. It has been two months since the onset of my speech being affected as well as other symptoms that affect me such as balance, head pain and my vision. Through it all though I am persevering and maintaining full hope and faith that I will be healed and my speech restored. In this short time, I have had numerous people (some that don't even know me that well) tell me that I have been such an inspiration to them just by seeing me continue to be joyful despite seeing the physical difficulties. I even managed to finish my first semester at our community college with excellent grades! This was a huge accomplishment for me. I will continue to be positive, overcome and serve as a purpose, drawing only good out of all of this. I appreciate any amount you feel guided to contribute. As always, prayers are most definitely welcomed.

Aloha guys, we are on the move again. Emerald has a bunch of testing on Oahu this coming Friday 8/12/16. After that we can finally go and see the specialist back in Seattle and do some more testing there. Those test in Seattle will take about two weeks or longer. We could really use some support as I'm almost out of vacation time. Most of all we need your prayers! Thank you all and God bless!

Love and Aloha to all- Emerald
