Over Christmas Melissa had stroke. She is expected to be in the hospital for 3-4 weeks and then on the continued road of rehab and recovery. This experience has been a shock. Our hope with this fundraiser is to reduce anymore shock, especially financially.

Your donation will provide ease and peace of mind over the coming months. Melissa will be off work with only a percentage of her salary. Clint, the primary fundraiser for BAM, will be Melissa's main caregiver. The money raised will support the medical bills and other financial obligations.

We have really felt the rally of love and support from our community during this scary and difficult time. Thank you for your continued love and prayers.

You can stay in touch with Melissa and family on their Caring Bridge page:
