Support the Putman-Arnold Family's Journey

Just yesterday, what was expected to be a routine check-up for 2-year-old Raiden turned into every parent's worst nightmare. During his visit, doctors discovered severely abnormal labs that led to an emergency life-flight to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. There, sweet Raiden was diagnosed with leukemia.

This unimaginable news comes just weeks after another devastating loss-their family home was destroyed in the flooding that swept through our community. To experience such heartbreak back-is something no family should ever have

to endure.

Raiden is scheduled for a bone marrow

transplant on Monday. The days and weeks ahead will be filled with hospital stays, uncertainty, and emotional and physical exhaustion. His parents, Lexii Nachelle Putman and Justin Ray Arnold, along with their family, are doing their best to stay strong, but they areunderstandably brokenhearted. In the words of a

loved one:

"So for those who did not watch the video. My precious 2 yr old grandson Raiden now has been diagnosed with leukemia. He will have a bone marrow transplant on Monday and I don't know anything else after that as far as treatment. Lexii Nachelle Putman and Justin Ray Arnold and Austin Putman and our family need ur prayers. We are all broken right now.

Please pray for peace. Please pray for docs to have direction. For healing. And for rest."

Because the family is currently away from home and will be for the foreseeable future, we are organizing support through gift cards only at this time. These will help cover meals, gas, lodging, and any unexpected expenses during their time at the hospital.

If you are able, please consider sending a donation to help lighten their load. Every act of generosity, no matter how small, is a reminder that they are not walking this path alone.

Let’s wrap the Putman-Arnold family in love, support, and unceasing prayer during this incredibly difficult journey.
