Support for Dawn Cherry

Hello, everyone.  As most of you already know, Dawn was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  Below is a post from Dawn's social media page.  If you don't already know her, you will quickly wish you did.  She is an amazing, Godly woman who loves her family, friends, church, school, and Savior.   

"I apologize for not reaching out to some of you personally. It’s been a difficult few days... My appointment with the oncologist did not go as well as I had hoped. I have stage 4 cancer. The doctor is trying to determine where it originated so he knows the most effective treatment. The cancer has spread silently to several areas of my body. It’s not curable.
To say that my family and I are heartbroken is an understatement. I know that when it’s my time to pass that I will spend eternity in heaven with Christ my Savior. It’s the thought of leaving my husband, children, grandchildren, family and friends that’s so incredibly difficult.
Although I have some fears, like whether my body will respond to chemo that will give me more time here on earth, I ABSOLUTELY KNOW that God is in control of this. He’s allowing this. Do I understand why? No. But I do know that I can rest in Him. That He’s giving me comfort even though I sometimes want to curl up in a corner and cry. I can still laugh. I can still share wonderful moments with my family, friends, cheer squad. I’m thankful to have time to share with all of them. That’s how I plan to spend the rest of my time in this world.
Kendall withdrew and came home from college to be with me and help me in any way she can❤️ Tyler flew south to make the long drive home with her ❤️Brendan and April flew in Friday and has spent the weekend with me. Lauren is being strong. I’m praying that she will have some wonderful memories of the remainder of her senior year. Chris has been amazing, caring for my every need ❤️ One of my sisters came here for the weekend ❤️
Please, please pray for me and my family. We need it so much. My prayer is that God will be glorified through me as I go on this journey. I know that He is able to heal me, regardless of what the doctors say!
As I told my cheer squad, we all tend to think we have time, that things like terminal cancer happens to others. I know MANY lives that have ended in the blink of an eye. WE HAVE NO CONTROL. It’s so very important that if you were to die today that you know where you’re going for eternity. Heaven and hell are very real places. Nothing but the blood of Lord Jesus Christ can save you from your sins. Nothing. We must call on Him, ask for forgiveness of our sins, and ask Him to come into our hearts and save us. That’s WHY He died on the cross for us, shed His blood to save us, and rose three days later getting victory over death. It’s really simple. Please reach out to me if you need to talk or have questions. If you make the decision to call on the Lord, please let me know so that I can rejoice with you.
I love you all very much. I covet your prayers ❤️"

Please prayerfully consider helping us reach our goal in sending Dawn and her family to Disney, as this has been her dream...a memorable family vacation that they've never taken before.  These funds will also help meet the financial needs of medical bills that may incur.  

Thank you for continued love and prayers.
