New Update::

Susan is home. We got her a uber from Cedar Rapids home. The air conditioner is being installed today. We are still currently $438 away from the cost of exterminator. Please continue to share this and pray. The girls will get to go home Sunday to be with their mom. It’s been over a month.

any help goes towards things they will need.

UPDATE::::::

Susan is out of the ICU and is currently getting better through rehabilitation to learn to walk and talk. Currently the girls are still in St Louis awaiting to go home. They should be able to return home Sunday if everything goes well.

There are some things that need to be taken care of before any of them can return home and the cost of that will be much more than they have as they live very very within means.

I am asking for any help possible to help get the things that need taken care of. Susan purse has also come up missing that had a large amount of bill money in it as she was being hospitalized June 27th. Susan is allowed to go home on Wednesday but the cost to get her home as she does not drive will cost 70$ for an uber. The cost for others things will be a large amount of money and that situation is highly confidential.

Thank you for any help you may be able to give.

Dear friends, family, and compassionate hearts,

We are reaching out today on behalf of two incredible amazing girls who are well know in the community, who have experienced a heartbreaking tragedy. Recently, their loving father passed away, and their mother has been hospitalized in an unknown condition and has been sedated for over a week. While their mother fights to recover and come home, these girls are facing unimaginable challenges.

As they wait and pray for their mother’s healing, they are in need of some practical support. Their home is without an air conditioner, and with the summer heat, they will need one to stay safe and comfortable. In addition, the girls will be traveling to St. Louis to stay with a family friend while their mother remains in the hospital. They will want to do some normal things during this stressful time — enjoying a meal out, picking up a souvenir, or even just finding a bit of peace and joy while they wait.

We are hoping to raise funds to help:

• Purchase an air conditioner for their home

• Cover their travel expenses

• Provide for meals, small comforts, and activities while they are away

Your generosity, whether big or small, will help ease the burden of these girls as they navigate this overwhelming situation. We know that God is faithful, and we hold tight to His promises even in these difficult days:

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

If you feel led to give, please know that every dollar will go directly to providing for these girls and helping them feel loved and supported while their mom recovers. Please keep them all in your prayers, and share this with anyone who might be able to help.

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus during this time. Your compassion and faith make a difference.

God bless you,

Amber Blackledge
