<div>The past few weeks have been challenging for our department, but as always, we come together to support each other like a true family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On a recent difficult morning, after attending the funeral of one of our members, FF Caleb Dann returned home to Deltona. He decided to join Makenzie and Enzo at a birthday party after speaking with Makenzie and leaving station 25. The party was filled with laughter and joy, especially for the kids enjoying a bounce house water slide. It was a perfect afternoon—until it wasn't.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically, Enzo lost consciousness after coming down the water slide and inhaled a significant amount of water. Caleb immediately sprang into action, performing life-saving measures until fire rescue arrived. Our colleagues at Orange City Fire Rescue &amp; Volusia County EMS quickly transported Enzo to the nearest facility. He was stabilized and then transferred to AdventHealth for Children in Orlando.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Enzo is now in the PICU, where he is being sedated and kept on a ventilator as doctors work to remove fluids, fight infection, and monitor fluid on his brain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask for your prayers and positive thoughts for Caleb, Makenzie, Will and Enzo as they navigate this challenging time. While they deeply appreciate everyone's support, they also need a few days to process everything that's happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To help cover Enzo's medical expenses, we've set up this GoFundMe campaign with a goal of raising $20,000. Any contribution, big or small, will be immensely appreciated. Your support means the world to us and helps remind us of the strength and love within our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

<div>At the age of 33, Jessica was expecting her second daughter, Julia, and anticipating the excitement and challenges that come with being a family of four. However, at 33 weeks pregnant, she quickly learned that something was wrong and was faced with the most challenging obstacle in her life. On September 8, 2023, Jessica delivered Julia via a C-section and soon after learned her diagnosis – Nuroendocrine Carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. What was supposed to be one of the most happy times of her life, quickly transitioned into one of the scariest and heartbreaking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past 7 months, Jessica has endured more than any person should ever have to in a lifetime, including multiple surgeries, hospital stays and time apart from her family. For those of you know that know Jessica well, it shouldn't be surprising that she has met this challenge with determination, optimism and a fierce drive to beat this cancer and enter remission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has undergone six rounds of intense chemotherapy treatment, received three weeks of radiation treatment at John's Hopkins in Baltimore, and at the end of May will be making the trip to NYU with her family to undergo a complex and intensive surgery to remove the tumor. Jessica and David have fought tirelessly and traveled across the U.S. to find the answers, treatment plan and an experienced team of doctors that will deliver the best possible outcome - Jessica becoming cancer-free.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is being organized to help cover the travel and housing expenses during her surgery and recovery in New York. And most importantly to Jess, to ensure her entire family can stay together during this extended period of time, so she can have the full support and comfort of being with her girls. Any additional funds raised will be used to cover medical bills and ongoing therapies to prevent recurrence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jessica has fought so bravely and I hope you will join us as we cover her and her family in prayers and uplift them on this next major step in their journey to becoming cancer free.

<div>Dr. Roy B. Blizzard, who passed away in June, 2025, spent the final years of his life facing a number of serious health challenges. In his early 90's, with limited mobility and no longer able to travel or lecture, his once-active teaching ministry slowed, and his ability to generate income was severely reduced. During that time, he required ongoing cancer treatment, quality hearing aids, and significant dental care—needs that reflected not just medical necessity but the dignity of a life well lived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Blizzard was the President of Bible Scholars, a Texas-based organization devoted to biblical research and education. He co-authored the groundbreaking Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus, a book that helped establish the importance of reading the New Testament through a Hebraic lens. His work opened the door for countless others to see the words of Jesus in their original cultural and linguistic context. He went on to write several other books, including Tithing, Giving and Prosperity, Mishnah and the Words of Jesus, The Bible, Sex, and You, The Mountain of the Lord, and his final work, Understanding the Difficult Passages in the Bible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A native of Joplin, Missouri, Dr. Blizzard’s academic journey was broad and deep. He studied at Oklahoma Military Academy and earned a B.A. from Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma. He held an M.A. in Anthropology and Archaeology from Eastern New Mexico University, an M.A. in Hebrew from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Ph.D. in Hebrew Studies, also from UT Austin. From 1968 to 1974, he served as an instructor in Hebrew, Biblical History, and Biblical Archaeology at the University of Texas at Austin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His connection to the land of Israel ran deep. In 1966, he studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and in the early 1970s, he participated in archaeological excavations at Tel Qasile and the Western Wall. He was part of the team that uncovered the Trumpeting Place inscription, assisting the renowned archaeologist Benjamin Mazar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Blizzard was not only a scholar but also a guide—literally and figuratively. He led dozens of educational tours across Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. He was a licensed guide in Israel and a trusted voice for thousands of students and laypeople who traveled with him or studied under his leadership. He also hosted over 500 television programs about Israel and Judaism and was a sought-after guest on both television and radio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though his voice has been stilled, his teaching continues to resonate. The seeds he planted—in hearts, in classrooms, in sacred texts—will keep bearing fruit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we remember Dr. Blizzard, may we honor him not only with our words but with our deeds. In Hebrew, this is called gemilut chasadim—acts of loving-kindness. Whether it’s through the support of ongoing scholarship, the mentoring of students, or simply the careful study of Scripture through the lens he taught us to value, we can continue the work he began.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May his memory be a blessing—and a call to carry forward the truth he lived to uncover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The amount shown is from a previous effort to raise money for medical issues. Consider that the current goal amount dedicated to funeral expenses is $14,000.

<div>Hi, my name is Shellayna and I am fundraising for my brother Albert and his family. Albert underwent major cardiac surgery on July 1st and now he and his family face financial hardship with medical expenses and loss of income.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Albert has a hereditary condition called Marfan Syndrome, which impacts the connective tissues of the body- most notably in the heart. Albert’s aortic root developed an aneurysm due to this condition. He required life saving surgery which will leave him out of work for several weeks, at least. While his employer has been incredibly understanding, he has not been with the company long enough to accrue the PTO necessary to sustain the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Albert’s recovery has included multiple complications including a second surgery and pneumonia. His hospital stay was expected to be five days but was thirteen days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Albert and Takara have a new baby (3 months old) and a 4 year old son. Takara is a teacher and is fortunately able to help care for Albert and family until returning to teaching in August.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to this family as they endure this difficult time. In addition to the loss of income due to Albert’s medical leave, they face ongoing insurance costs, normal household expenses, and a very large deductible for the heart surgery and hospital stay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your consideration and any prayers.
</div>

Help Albert and his family through medical crisis

<div>Nikki was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years ago. She went through chemo treatments and went through Whipple surgery as well. She's been two years cancer free and a spot came back on her liver, and spread. Chemo is out of the question this time around because it's taken a toll on her body and doesn't provide a good quality of life. They've found an alternative treatment plan but it's costly. It's called Gonzalez Protocol for those that would like to look into it and what it entails. This program only accepts those that they believe they can help, which is promising.  They have good success with pancreatic cancer.  Through this treatment plan we are hoping to provide her the best quality and length of life.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>A general breakdown of costs:
</div>

<div>$1,200 a month for medications/supplements.
</div>

<div>$5,400 for the doctors help for the next year, any exams, blood work, etc.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>We appreciate any contribution you are able to make, every little bit helps.
</div>

Helping Nikki Beat Pancreatic Cancer

<div>This gofundme was created to help with the unexpected cancer treatment expenses for my Father-in-law, Dennis Green.  Denny received the diagnosis of B-Cell Lymphoma over the Thanksgiving weekend. This was following a trip to the ER for symptoms that originally caused Denny and his family concern for heart related issues. However, Denny ended up staying four nights in the hospital and received three units of blood and a bone marrow biopsy which later came back with the unexpected news of cancer. With this diagnosis, Denny and his family are faced with many upcoming out of pocket and abundant medical expenses as he pursues treatment. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Denny is 55, and has spent the majority of His life serving others and sharing the Gospel with the least of these. He has been active in pro-life ministry for the past 30 years and has devoted his life to full-time ministry both here and in China. Denny is the Father of 13 children, 6 of which are still at home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The plan going forward is for Denny to first pursue natural therapies for the treatment of the cancer at a cancer treatment center in Tijuana. If that is not effective they will pursue other treatment options. As soon as next week, Denny is eligible to begin treatment and will be away for at least three weeks if not longer. Payment for these treatments is expected upfront. On top of all the medical expenses, the family will have no income during the time Denny is absent. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>First, Denny appreciates prayers as he proceeds with treatments which will hopefully put this cancer in remission. Secondly, if you feel led to give, it would alleviate much of the financial burden as well as give Denny the best chance at beating this cancer. Successful treatment will by God’s grace allow him to spend many more years with his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Help Dennis Green with Cancer Expenses

On Sunday, February 14, Loren Spivey was the victim of a terrible tragedy. At 14 years old, his life was just beginning. Avid skateboarder, awesome gymnast, wonderful little brother and larger-than-life cousin, his life ended far too soon. While many questions will forever be unanswered, his family, on his behalf,  chose to sit with him through five heart breaking days in the hospital preparing to donate his organs to other recipients: Giving Life from the Life that was taken from them. To Honor Loren’s memory, and his family’s selfless act, I ask you to search your heart in contributing to his legacy. This page was placed on my heart and I followed the call. It is created to ease any burdens that need to be eased for this grieving family, and to also allow them to set up any type of memorial for this sweet boy in the future. Mental Health issues are in the forefront of our society more often now, but please check on your friends and loved ones for Depression, Anxiety and Suicidal Tendencies. We do not need to lose anymore of our children.

LOREN’S LEGACY

<strong>Few people have had the worldwide impact for Christ that Orlando and Nancy Rivera have had. </strong>As a pastor, speaker, teacher, entrepreneur, leader, mentor, community organizer and developer, and family member, Orlando and Nancy have personally poured their hearts and souls into people from Egypt to Costa Rica to Nigeria to urban centers across the United States.<br /><br />Orlando and Nancy were married for 28 years.  After trying to grow their family biologically and being told they could not, Nancy and Orlando adopted seven children (Ask around to learn more about this remarkable story!).  Then came three biological children, the youngest of whom is five.  Their ministry impact has been felt through Northland Church; the DeVos Urban Leadership Initiative; various initiatives within the Holden Heights neighborhood of Orlando; the Hub University Church; Nyack College; Mount Vernon Alliance Church; Paterson Habitat for Humanity; and countless other ministries around the world.  They longed to see people groups and individuals come to know Jesus Christ--and many have because of their ministry.<br /><br /><strong>On the early morning of Monday, May 28, Orlando was struck by a driver going the wrong-way on a major interstate in Florida.</strong>  He died instantly.  This comes as a great shock to thousands of us who have been impacted by Orlando’s ministry and leaves a great void on this earth.<br /><br />Nancy, Jaq, Ashley, Meena, Breshia, James, Jermaine, Jamie, Enoch, Ezra, and Josiah are <strong>left in about the most challenging position imaginable. </strong> <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/30209652_1527560504.9799_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><strong>How You Can Help</strong><br />The Rivera family needs as many prayers and as much emotional support as possible right now!  They are grateful for each and every prayer that you can offer on their behalf.  <br /><br />In addition, <strong>there are significant financial expenses about to hit the family</strong>, including the funeral, but also basic living costs with the loss of their family's primary income.  Your financial gifts will ease the monetary burden caused by this tragedy, both now and into the future!  We would like to raise $100,000 to help Nancy navigate the challenging financial waters ahead.  <strong>They have impacted so many of us around the world—would you please consider impacting them as well?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Thank You!</strong><br />Thank you for considering an investment in the future of the Rivera family!  If you’d like to invest, would you also please consider sharing this page on social media, or e-mailing the link to others who know the Riveras or might be interested in helping Nancy?<br /><br /><em>With much appreciation,<br /><br />Friends of the Rivera family</em>

Impacting the Orlando Rivera Family

He started blogging back in 1996.  His site is Dustbury.com.  <br /><br />I remember when he took time from his World Tour '05 to visit me.  I can barely believe it's now over 10 years ago.  <br /><br />He's been having some spinal issues.  Look up “spinal stenosis.” It's certainly not pretty stuff. <br /><br />This is a guy who has always been independent.  He's taken his paid days off and now... well, let's rally around him.  <br /><br />Chaz is not a guy who would ask for help.  He's too proud but just a little will go a long way.  Help him with some bills. Let him relax and take the time he needs to get better.
