Gretchen Kong Medical Expense Fund

Donation protected
While on a high school French class trip to Paris in April, 17-year old Gretchen Kong had an allergic reaction to food, which led to a bronchial spasm and cardiac arrest, leaving Gretchen in a coma.  Gretchen's parents (Ed & Amy Kong) immediately flew to France to be at their daughter's bedside.  After 18 days in a Paris hospital, Gretchen was flown via medevac plane to a U.S. hospital closer to home.  Gretchen is breathing on her own and is in a stabilized condition but she remains in a coma.  We are establishing this fund because, although Gretchen's family has good medical insurance, the costs incurred for traveling, co-pays/deductibles, and ongoing medical care are mounting.  Please consider making a donation.  Your prayers are appreciated as well.
