Hi there,
My name is Amanda Tonner and I am a coworker of Chris Meland. I have gotten to know Chris and have learned about Kevin’s medical history. In June 2018, The Melands moved to MN to take a sabbatical from full-time ministry they did in Colorado. They began Mountain Haven Marriage Ministry as they had a goal to serve others in healing. Since they have moved to MN they have had to go through some tough times. In 2018 Kevin had a small bowel resection and surgery to remove his colon. Unfortunately the incision opened up and has not healed over the last 9 months. He has been in and out of the hospital, gone into the ER, and has had multiple wound care appointments due to the wound not healing properly. In February 2020 they went to the Mayo Clinic in which Chris and Kevin found out Kevin has to have major surgery on March 26th to clean out his pelvis and make sure the current 15cm tract and bad tissue doesn’t connect to his tailbone or spine. There will be many surgical departments involved in his care and it will be a very complex surgery. They could use prayers for a safe surgery and good recovery. They also could use support financially at this time to help with medical expenses and other expenses due to them being unable to work at this time. Chris and Kevin have served many people throughout their lives and they would appreciate any amount to help during this difficult time!
