My brother-in-law, Don Tucker, needs your prayers and your financial support, if possible. In 2009, Don had an abscess on his brain and had three emergency craniotomy surgeries. In 2013, after two years on a transplant list, he received a new liver. Three weeks ago, he went to Baptist East Hospital in North Little Rock for the removal of two kidney stones. Since then, he has had four surgeries to insert drain tubes, three ER visits that resulted in admissions, and has been a very sick and weak man. The doctors and nurses have been amazing; they think he has turned a corner, but he has missed work for the last month and is looking at an in-house rehab stay before he can go home.

I referred to his past medical history because I want you to know what a faithful, selfless, and godly man Don Tucker is. He teaches guitar lessons at Starling Music in Bryant, previously at Guitar Center, plays in his church praise band, and is involved with Freedom Sings, a group that visits with veterans, learns their stories, and helps them write songs to deal with their trauma and injuries. He also wrote and recorded "The Gift" after his liver transplant, which is used with the National Organ Donor Organization promotions.

He and Cindy, my sister, have felt and appreciate the many prayers this past 3-4 weeks and pray that you would continue to send up prayers on his behalf. If you are able and feel led, your monetary donations would also be appreciated!!! TIA.
