Help Jesse get healthy!

Hi. My name is Lisa and I'm fundraising for Jesse and Lorraine Faiola.

Jesse has struggled with alcohol and drug addiction for many years, and lately he has had some medical scares and addiction crises that helped him make the difficult decision last week to go into an inpatient rehab program in Costa Rica, where they live. He is hoping that the Lord will bless his efforts to change his life and allow him to bless others with his sobriety. We are asking for help to pay for this life-saving month-long program.

Jesse and Lorraine have always lived a simple, frugal life, and now have a small home business making pizza and calzones to feed their close-knit community. The local folks love their food! This brings connection to the community, and helps them pay their bills, providing a healthy product and a sustainable income, as their needs are simple. However, addiction is a powerful disruption, and can steal their joy and peace, and Jesse now truly wants help. Lorraine will keep the business going the best she can while he's away, but there's not a lot of extra income beyond meeting basic needs. It would be wonderful if they did not have the added stress of medical debt upon Jesse finishing the program, but instead if he could focus on getting healthy and staying strong, with God's help. They are holding on to scriptures like this one:

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee. -Isaiah 26:3

Any amount that you can donate will be gratefully received, as will messages of love and support for Jesse. He has touched many people in his life, and now would be a great time to remind him that so many of us care for him and wish him well. Thanks in advance for whatever you can give!
