Let's support the Raffrays with medical expenses!

Update: Thanks to all who have generously donated! Your support has meant the world to Erin and Brad! Last week, Brad had his surgery. The procedure went really well and recovery has been going well also. The pain has been extreme but Brad is taking it all in strides. Brad is home and on the long road to recovery.

Continued prayers to the Raffray family and thank you again for all the support!

I think anyone who has met Erin and Brad can agree that their impact on others is profound. Brad lights up any room he walks into with his wit and kind spirit and Erin welcomes all in with her generous hospitality.

Despite the grief they have walked through, they love people big, overcome great obstacles and have persevered through more than most can imagine.

And now, they are up against another hurdle.

Last year, Brad had a minor virus that attacked his diaphragm and caused it to stop working. It has caused issues with his breathing and now could be more threatening. Because fo this, he will be undergoing surgery and he will face 5-6 months of recovery where he will be unable to work afterward. Erin will be caring for Brad while also working but hopefully through your generous support won’t have to work overtime to support their family but can focus on caring for their three teenage children, Brad’s recovery and managing her own MS symptoms.

So many friends have reached out about how to help during this time, so we thought this would be the easiest platform to come alongside.

I was reading recently in Mark 2 about the friends who lowered a paralytic man in through the roof of a house because of crowds blocking the doors to be healed by Jesus and was encouraged by their example. We all walk through seasons were we need friends and family to surround us and lift us up and the Raffray clan needs us right now.

Erin and Brad would never ask this for themselves, but we would love if you would consider supporting them to help cover the financial burden of hospital expenses and Brad not being able to bring in an income for several months.

And we know this may not be an option for everyone, so we would ask that mostly, you would join us in praying for Brad and the Raffray clan.

Thanks and we are thankful for you all!
