The expectation and excitement of having your first child cannot be adequately expressed fully with words. These words were never truer than on April 2nd when Baby Bear was born via emergency C-section and was whisked away to undergo a full spectrum of testing. Unfortunately, Josh and Jarren were not fully prepared for the heart-breaking diagnosis they received.

We at AVS Design Concepts are a close knit group and do things to help each other. While Josh is extremely missed, he is right where he needs to be with Jarren and Bear.  AVS has 21 employees who have generously donated $6,200 to help jump start this campaign.  Please help us support this young family as they navigate through a trying future.

As of right now, they are at Vanderbilt because it offers the best care for the diagnosis of Kidney Dysplasia, click here to read more about it:

There are hard times ahead but the family has stayed faithful in their beliefs, trusting God to take care of baby Bear and their needs. The constant request they have is that you lift Bear and their family in your prayers. If you can go beyond the prayers there is a need for monetary donations. There will be medical bills, travel expenses, and normal living expenses that will not stop because of this season of their lives.

It would mean so much to the AVS family and the Brother’s family if you would join us in this journey. We are excited to see what the future holds for Bear and his family.

 

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. — Psalm 127:3-5
