Send The Graves to their Airman

My brother-in-law, Nathan Graves, is currently serving his country in the United States Air Force and is stationed in Aviano AFB, Italy.  On Thursday, the 17th of May, Nathan began feeling ill.  What was originally thought to be the flu began to show alarming symptoms.  Upon his health getting worse a trip to the Air Base hospital was the next natural step.  Upon results of the blood tests and bone marrow tests, a parents worse fear was realized.  On the 20th of May, Nathan was diagnosed with Leukemia and was rushed to a hospital in Udine, Italy.

It is in these difficult time, on behalf of the family, we are requesting your prayers and if so led, for financial support.  Nathan's parents, Larry and Marcia Graves, want to be by their son's side as he begins these difficult steps of Chemo treatment.  More than their sadness upon his diagnosed, is that he is in a foreign country in this difficult time without family by his side.

Financial support will be used to allow Larry and Marcia to travel to be by their son's side. It will assist them as they take time from work, the traveling, and daily cost of being away from home.  They want to be by his side for at least 30 days.

These funds will allow Larry and Marcia to do what parents do best.  Be there.  To pray with him.  To wait in waiting room as he undergoes treatments.  To encourage him. 

Times like these, we all need two things.  Faith and Family.  We have faith.  Nathan needs Mom and Dad.
