Help us Support Jacob and Amber Porter

Help us support Jacob and Amber Porter!

At birth, their little girl Evelyn was diagnosed with a rare and serious inherited disease called Glutaric Aciduria Type One, or GA1. It is a metabolic disorder in which the body can't process certain amino acids ("building blocks" of protein), causing a harmful build-up of substances in the body.

Evelyn is at high risk for a metabolic stroke, seizures, and irreversible brain injury. Her care requires immediate emergency treatment with extended hospital stays for a specialized IV treatment any time she has a minor illness, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or other illnesses that could normally be treated at home. This specialized treatment helps prevent brain injury from toxic build up of glutaric acid.

With frequent hospitalization, specialty appointments out of state in PA, medication, a very specific diet and formula, busy work schedules, and now another baby on the way (who could potentially inherit GA1 as well), a financial need has arisen for the Porters.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help cover the extra medical expenses that healthcare is not covering as well as other specialized therapies and treatments Evelyn may need, as well as the financial hardship of frequent travel for appointments and missing work due to extended hospital visits.

We are believing for a miracle of complete healing for Evelyn as well as protection over their family and new baby. We know that God is good and his provision is more than enough.

Both Jacob and Amber's families have stepped up to help them in this time of need and support. We are asking for additional prayers and support from friends, family, and local community.

Thank you for any support and prayers for the Porter's and their families.

We will post updates perodically.

Thanks again!
