Hello, as most of you know, the backbone of our family has been going through it lately and can't catch a break medically. I am setting this up because some of you have asked how you can help. The most important help is your prayers, which you guys have been awesome at doing, and we can't appreciate enough.

Mom and Dad live on a very fixed income, and she has already been in the hospital for 6 weeks and we don't see her getting out anytime soon. So, that's a lot of traveling and eating expenses that just aren't in their budget. Also, when something happens, of course, one or two more things have to happen—pretty sure that's just how life works. Dad had to get a plumber, which was a pretty penny. Also, Mom has a real hard time hearing, so he went and bought her hearing aids so when they take her for testing or a procedure and we are not around, she can hear. And we all know those aren't cheap.

I know life is hard for everyone right now, so don't in any way feel obligated. All we ask is you continue to pray for her; that is the most important part. Thanks to you all and God bless you.
