Dear Friends,

Our names are Scott and Anne Gardner, and today we are reaching out on behalf of our dear friends, Todd and Bonnie. Their daughter, Taylor, is fighting for her young life against a devastating and life-threatening disease called Lupus that has consumed their family for the past several months.

Todd and Bonnie have been unable to work as they dedicate themselves to Taylor’s daily — and we mean daily — appointments, hospital stays, and treatments. With very little insurance coverage, most of their care must be paid out of pocket, and their resources are nearly exhausted.

We are asking for your help. First and foremost, we ask for your prayers and kind thoughts for Taylor, and for Todd and Bonnie whose faith and resilience remain steadfast in the face of unimaginable challenges. If you are able, we humbly ask for your financial support as well. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for this family as they continue this difficult journey.

Many of you know Anne and me personally, and you know that we would never ask unless the need was truly great. This is one of those moments. Please, help if you can — with prayers, with support, with generosity of spirit.

With gratitude and hope,

Scott & Anne Gardner
