Please help support Marilyn Denny’s family!

Donation protected
Please help support Marilyn Denny’s family! Our sister Marilyn has been hospitalized with COVID since early Christmas morning. She has now been intubated, on a ventilator, and under general anesthesia for 12 days and counting. She is 38 years old and otherwise healthy, so this has all come as a great shock to us. The hospital staff tell us to remain hopeful and optimistic, but there have been complications, and it will be a long road to recovery. We continue to pray and trust God for this!

Marilyn has 2 autistic boys, ages 10 and 13. They have now been without their mama for almost 2 weeks. At the end of this week, Marilyn’s husband, Matt, will have used up all his COVID-related leave and vacation time, and will need to return to work (he works swing shift). We are raising funds to pay for a caregiver to pick up the boys from school, cook them dinner, and help them get to bed. In addition, the Denny's need help with meals and housecleaning. Hopefully this will only be needed for a few months, until Marilyn can recover enough to care for her family again.

Marilyn is one of the most generous and loyal people we know. She has tirelessly advocated for her boys’ well-being and for others who have special needs. Now it’s our turn to step in for a time and help lift the burden that she can’t carry right now. Thanks in advance for your donation, your time if you can give it, and most of all for your prayers!
