My wife, Sophia, had a heart attack a few months ago. She had 90% blockage in the so-called "widowmaker" artery -- the cardiologist who installed her stent told me she was lucky to be alive. We know better, though; the Lord spared her for a purpose. Sophia has a lot to live for, especially me and our four children. She's starting school in a couple of weeks to earn a paralegal certificate, which we expect will eventually lead to a well-paying job.

In order to get there, though, we need your help. Sophia's time in the hospital, which included two trips to the ER, has left us with a hefty bill to pay off. We exhausted our emergency savings, and that's why we're looking to you and our many friends to help ease the financial burden. Today we invite you to consider contributing to Sophia's heart attack fund. Your gift of any amount will help my wife and me secure our family's future.
