Dearest Friends & Family,

Valerie Paters needs our help!  On Monday, November 9th, 2020, Valerie received an unexpected diagnosis of Stage 4 liver cancer. She began experiencing weakness, exhaustion and swelling in her leg’s, abdomen, and face. Never did she imagine that these symptoms were related to cancer. She was immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment. The cost of her medical bills is rising and is more than she can bare. She needs your help! 

Valerie has had her share of many ups and downs in her life. In 2000 she had been in a horrific car accident when she was hit by three semi-trucks and was placed on life support as they prepared the paper work to harvest her organs. Her family was not given much hope. It has been a long road to her recovery but she pulled through. She is a fighter and has experienced miracle after miracle in her lifetime. 

She wrote about this in her book titled, “Heaven is a Breath Away” (valeriepaters.com) 

Valerie is a devoted grandmother raising her granddaughter Ariel who is 14.  

We can help our sweet friend get all of the medical care she needs, and allow her to spend all of her energy on healing and loving her family. Would you consider helping with her medical expenses? We will be forever grateful for your support! Your prayers are appreciated! 

Love & Blessings
