Stephen Ellison is headed to surgery for amputation of his right lower leg after life threatening complications from sepsis and diabetes. Due to these medical complications, Stephen is no longer able to work and hasn’t been able to since March. His wife Stefani also needed to quit work at the same time to care for him and their children. There are medical and travel expenses, and of course the costs of raising their children, so financially things are tight.

Stephen and Stefani have dedicated their lives to raising their 19 children, and creating futures for their many children who have significant special needs. Stephen and Stefani have given generously to the special needs adoption community for nearly 30 years and have been foster parents with their local foster care foundation.

If you are able to send out a positive thought and a prayer, share a message of support, or make a financial donation, you can help make a difference for this whole extraordinary family.
