Help Phil Walk Again

In October of 2017, our dad, Phil Watkins, had to have his leg amputated below the knee due to complications with diabetes. It has been a trying time, emotionally, physically, and financially, on our whole family! We are eternally thankful to our friends and relatives who have pitched in to help, both with dad's healing and care and at my parent's cake and catering business, Sweet Dream Desserts.

If you know Sweet Dreams, you know they have always donated baked goods and gift cards to local fundraising events, from youth groups to those raising money for people with serious illnesses or families who have lost someone to a sudden death, as well as other donation requests.

If you know our parents, you know they are hard-working--the hardest working people we have ever known! They are working even harder now due to our dad's handicap and the expenses incurred. Since, he is does not qualify for disability through the state and is unable to work, our parents have an added stress dealing with expenses.

Now our Dad is in need. Though his leg is healed enough for him to get a prosthesis, it is expensive and not covered by insurance. Because of his unfortunate circumstances, we look to our family, friends, and community for help.

We are raising $20,000 to purchase a prosthetic leg, therapy, and care he needs to learn to use the prosthetic, so he can get back to what he loves, being a chef at Sweet Dream Desserts.

Any little bit that you can donate will help us tremendously. If you find yourself unable to give at this time, we gladly accept your prayers for our family!

God bless you,

Taryn and Jayme
