Howard and Jackie- Assistance Fund

As most of you know Howard and Jackie Griffith have had quite the year. Howard was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma late last May. What we believe started in his small intestine has now grown to many different parts of his body, including his spine. This has led to him having to undergo multiple surgeries and treatments including chemo and a very aggressive form of radiation, as well as complications like sepsis from the high impact surgeries. We have been so grateful to receive so much help from friends and family the past ten months, whether that be a meal brought, an errand run, a gift card sent or, most importantly, a prayer. With Howard being disabled and Jackie needing to care for him 24/7, there is a large decrease in income and of course a large increase in bills. Many of you have asked over the months whether you can help them financially and for a while they felt they were not at the point of needing that sort of assistance; however, we've come to a point where their need is greater.  They have prayed about this and feel at peace with receiving financial help from friends and family who are able to bless and serve them in this way. If you are unable to love on them in this way, your continued prayers are very appreciated. We are so thankful of all of your support and ask that you continue to pray for the healing of Howard through this cancer and the next steps. We will post updates accordingly to keep everyone up to date.
