Help Linda's Medical Expenses

Dear friends and family, on Thursday of last week, Linda Osborne underwent surgery to remove a large brain tumor that was impacting her vision and motor skills. The surgery was more intense than we anticipated and she is battling to pull through the recovery. We are asking for your prayers that God will heal Linda and give her body the strength to overcome the trauma that she has endured. Linda has always been so courageous as she has battled rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary fibrosis, and thyroid  cancer. It was only last year that she had a difficult recovery from having had cervical fusion surgery and now she faces a long road to recovery from brain surgery. Linda had built a wonderful career working for a prestigious studio in New York City as a photographer's stylist, but after 9/11, she moved out of NY and established a successful career in the Insurance industry. Linda was gifted with so many talents that served her well throughout her career, however, the diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis took away her ability to continue in the career she had built. Linda moved to be near her daughter and family in recent years which has been a blessing and a much needed source of love and support. She is a devoted mother of her daughter Becky, doting grandmother of 8 and great grandmother of 1 with another on the way! She is the eldest sibling of the Sparling 5. She is  inspirational to all who know and love her. She is kind to everyone she meets and there isn't a stranger she hasn't befriended. Her sense of humor and laughter can fill a room! Through all of life's challenges, Linda has always maintained her faith in God and has never wavered in her trust that God has her life in His hands. While she is in recovery, we expect Linda will require weeks of monitoring, assistance and rehabilitation. It has become evident that she will need assistance to cover medical costs among other financial burdens.  She always puts her family above herself, but will now need help affording her own cost of living expenses. She's never one to ask for help, but we know she is in great need at this time. If it is within your means and the Lord leads you, we would be so grateful for any contribution you could make to help Linda cover these expenses so she can focus on healing and recovery. Linda remains in good spirits and as always, exhibits her desire to push through and overcome!  Your continued prayers and support are a blessing and we love and appreciate you!
