Help the Wise Family

Donation protected
Hi, This is Ruth Watts and Wendy Watts. We are asking you to donate money to a very GOOD CAUSE: THE WISE FAMILY. Ruth is the one who had the brilliant idea to raise money to help them. The Lord wants us to help people in need and now we know a family so close to us is in need. Here's what happened:

They are in crisis right now. They all came down with Covid 19 around Thanksgiving. Lyle, Melissa and Andria have pretty much recovered.
JEAN IS IN THE HOSPITAL IN ST. CLOUD IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AND IS VERY CRITICAL!! She has Covid Pneumonia. They have to give her very high oxygen. She gets a little better then worse again. Now her bowels are obstructed. SHE IS HAVING SURGERY FOR THAT TODAY! She will have to be sedated and on a ventilator for a few days to 4 weeks. She has a low risk of survival with this surgery. We need much prayer right now that she survives the surgery and gets off the ventilator soon. It sounds like they will repair her hernia that has been bothering her for years and is the cause of the obstruction. That would be a blessing to have the hernia gone.

Lyle, Melissa and Andria have missed work for 2-3 weeks. Lyle and Melissa have no sick time or PTO. That means they have had no income during that time. They don't have enough money to pay next month's mortgage or bills on top of dealing with Jean's medical bills. Melissa lives in her own apartment in St. Cloud and she doesn't have enough to pay her bills next month.

Can you imagine if you didn't get paid for 2-3 weeks? You would definitely be behind on your bills and rent or mortgage especially if you have high medical bills. This is more than they or anyone can bear. The medical bills are going to be so high - in the high thousands or more. They don't have the best insurance. They can't possibly handle all of this!! I am asking if you could please help by donating what you can. I started a savings account just for this and already put in my donation. The money will all go to the Wise Family: most of it to Lyle, Jean and Andria and some to Melissa. They need help and we can only do so much. We need all the family and friends, churches and anyone to come along side of us and help them out.

Gofundme.com does have a small charge for this. There is a donor protection guarantee if you are nervous about this. We love the Wise family so much. So many of our family and extended family have been praying. Now we need to help them in another way. It would be very WISE to donate to this cause. We want this to be a surprise for them. So don't let the Wises know we are doing this. I can't wait to see how much we can help them and they will appreciate it very much.

Thank you for considering helping in this great cause for born-again Christians who have always given so much of themselves to others. It would be nice to see them happy again like the photos below.
Thanks,
Ruth and Wendy Watts
