Hi everyone, I’m raising funds to help my sister, Moriah. She’s autistic and often experiences sensory overload, especially during family gatherings or stressful situations. In her own words, she sometimes needs to step away from family gatherings to protect herself from getting overstimulated. When she’s very overwhelmed, she may experience what’s known as a shutdown. For those who don’t know, a shutdown is generally thought of as an overload response. When an autistic person’s brain has been pushed beyond its capacity to process information, instead of becoming outwardly explosive (a meltdown), the system starts conserving resources and pulling inward. For Moriah, this can appear as speaking much less, withdrawing, or a lowered mood. In the worst cases, she’s completely physically incapable of speaking. Biologically, it’s the nervous system’s response to overload, and her body responds by reducing non-essential functions like speech to conserve energy. It’s not a choice or something she can control. When that happens, she just needs a calm environment and time to herself. 
<br>
<br>
 Noise-canceling headphones would make a huge difference for Moriah’s comfort and well-being. The funds raised will go directly toward purchasing these headphones, helping her create a calm environment and reduce sensory input during challenging moments. This will also make her work life a lot easier and allow her to spend more time with her nieces and nephews, who are very noisy but whom she loves very much. Any support means the world to us. Thank you for helping Moriah find comfort and peace.

Help Moriah Find Comfort with Headphones

<div>I am humbly asking for donations to help <strong>Shawna and Howard Petty</strong>. Shawna has been in extreme pain for quite a while and found out this past week that she has a tumor on her spine. The tumor has eaten away 75% of one vertebra. She is scheduled for surgery to remove as much tumor as possible and then repair her spine using a spacer, mesh, rods and fusing 3-5 of her vertebrae.  The doctors are also saying she has breast cancer and which is the source of the tumors on her spine. She will be having localized radiation and possibly chemotherapy depending on the results of her pathology tests. Shawna and Howard are facing many medical bills, travel expenses, and lost wages. Your support would provide not just financial relief, but also vital encouragement during this difficult time.  We are believing for a healing touch from the Lord and covet your prayers for Shawna and her family.
</div>

Help Shawna and Howard overcome medical challenges

<div><strong>Caleb was born with hypospadias with chordee.</strong> We had the surgery done to repair it when he was 6 months old; normally, that would be the only surgery needed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in Caleb’s case. He ended up having a surgery at 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, and 2. They all failed. The surgeon that initially did the surgery had never seen something like this happen before, so we took him to a different children’s hospital out of state. They also had never seen anything like this, and they sent him to the best surgeon for this issue in Texas. He specializes in this defect. <strong>Caleb will need 3-4 surgeries plus multiple hyperbaric treatments with each surgery.</strong> The goal is to release the tension and move the urinary meatus to its proper location. This will be a multi step process, some of them requiring skin grafts, due to him having other surgeries that failed and caused quite a bit of scar tissue. We will have to stay out of state for a week or more each time. He has insurance but the deductible for each surgery $7,050.

<div>Help pay funeral expenses for Webster Parish man who passed away suddenly, leaving wife and five children
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tony Adams of Shongaloo, LA, a beloved husband to Beth and father of five children (ages 7-18) Collapsed unexpectedly at his job site yesterday, July 30, 2024. Despite extensive emergency measures, he could not be revived.
</div>
<div>Please pray for the family as they process his passing and make funeral arrangements. Donations are gratefully accepted and will help pay for funeral, ambulance, and hospital expenses as well as upcoming bills for the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(The Adams family did not ask for our help in this time of need but I don't think they should need to. When we that are able, see the need arise, I believe we all want to do what we can to help.
</div>
<div>  
</div>
<div>   The goal of this fundraiser would initially be to help pay for the medical, ambulance, and funeral expenses and ultimately we are hoping to raise enough to go towards their upcoming mortgage payments and household bills as they navigate through this trying time.)

Help pay funeral expenses - Adams family of Webster Parish

<div>(Updates from Bro Shemaiah and Sister Bethany will posted at the bottom of page)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello friends! I am Heather Martin, the pastor's wife at Faith Tabernacle in Blacksburg VA.
</div>
<div>I have started this fundraiser to help a special couple from our church who is going through a very difficult time right now.
</div>
<div>Brother Shemaiah and Sister Bethany Beach will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this fall. Though they have longed to have children from the beginning, it was only back in January that they were able to announce that the Lord had done a miracle for them and that they would be expecting a baby in September. They have shown great faith in the Lord all these years, trusting that He would give them a child.
</div>
<div>Within the last few weeks Sister Bethany developed serious complications that necessitated the delivery of the baby at almost 27 weeks (Saturday, June 8th). He weighed 1lb and 14ozs.
</div>
<div>This of course, was completely unexpected and now they are in a very different situation then they ever imagined.
</div>
<div>Since his delivery, Sister Bethany's health is improving and the baby is also in stable condition. We are very thankful to the Lord for these things!
</div>
<div>However, they now face a long road ahead, of spending possibly up to 3 months with baby in the NICU.
</div>
<div>They live over 40 minutes from the hospital but are able to stay near by, that way they can be with baby as much as possible.
</div>
<div>Please bind together with us in prayer for this family. And if you feel to give in any way, we know it would be a tremendous blessing!
</div>
<div>All funds will be given directly to the family to help with medical expenses, as well as travel, and any other necessities they may have.
</div>
<div>God bless you!
</div>
<div>-Baby's name is Shubael Arden-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 3 - 6/18
</div>
<div>Baby Shubael is continuing to do well. He is quite the little fighter and the nurses say he is feisty!
</div>
<div>The ultrasounds looking for brain bleeds came back with absolutely nothing negative to show. Praise the Lord for that!
</div>
<div>He is on the lowest form of oxygen, a bubble CPAP, just to help keep his lungs open, but essentially he is breathing just fine on his own.
</div>
<div>Please continue to be in prayer for sister Bethany, her health is still having some ups and downs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 1 - 6/12/24
</div>
<div>Sister Bethany is improving and will hopefully be released tomorrow (6/13). They will be able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house near by.
</div>
<div>Baby Shubael is doing well considering. They are slowly weaning him off of the oxygen. Please be praying for him this weekend as they will be doing an ultrasound on his brain to be sure there are no brain bleeds. They will also be putting in a pick line so as not to have to be constantly pricking his heel for lab work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 6/13
</div>
<div>Making progress. Praise the Lord! Sis. Bethany was discharged today. Please pray that she will regain her strength quickly, also that the Lord will help with the anxiety of leaving him over there without us.
</div>
<div>Shubael was able to be taken off the ventilator today and also was done with his billyruben treatments.
</div>
<div>Praise the Lord for all he has, is, and will do!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>8/4
</div>
<div>Shubael weighs 4lbs., 8oz. He's 16" long. They've begun training him to take a bottle, this week. He's having to learn to breathe in between drinking. Tonight, he took 10ml of milk from the bottle. In the last two days, they've started him on a steroid to help strengthen his lungs. Shemaiah says he can already tell a difference in Shubael's ability to maintain his oxygen level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>7/22 am
</div>
<div>Shubael is very pale, today. He's gradually become more pale over the last few days, but right now, he's gray and somewhat mottled. His body temperature at 11 this morning was low, even though Shemaiah had been holding him, which had always kept him warmer than necessary, up until this time. He's had a lot of trouble with the nasal prongs (connected to the CPAP), lately. They weren't sitting deeply enough in his nose to stay in properly, though he was wearing the right size. Yesterday, his day nurse asked a respiratory specialist to come look at him, because she thought his nasal passages might be swollen.
</div>
<div>The nurse who cared for him last night got him moved to a CPAP mask, which he isn't fighting, but I think she said it can be hard on the bridge of the nose and the septum. Shemaiah is actually having them put him back on the nasal prongs, this afternoon. Shubael has several oxygen desaturations this morning, and his color seems worse than before. He wants to see if the trouble Shubael has had today has anything to do with the mask. Please continue to pray for wisdom and compassion to be used by all who make decisions about his care. It's hard to watch, but in all this, we trust God to see our baby through. We appreciate everyone's prayers so much. God bless y'all
</div>
<div>7/22 pm
</div>
<div>Shubael is doing better! The CPAP mask was apparently the problem. The strap goes around the back of the neck and they had it strapped extremely tight, which we didn't realize at first. When we discovered that, we had it loosened. After 20 minutes, Shubael's color improved immensely. Shemaiah did push through on putting him back onto the nasal prongs. A different respiratory specialist (a man who's been really nice and seems to be more gentle), who had _not_ been assigned to this pod today was the one to take care of it. God is so good. The CPAP mask was actually crushing his poor nose, which was likely part of why he just wasn't breathing well and causing his O2 to dip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>8/15
</div>
<div>Shubael is breathing without assistance! He completed his second room air trial this morning and is off of CPAP and does not require a cannula. He's much less fitful without the extra air being pushed into his stomach. 
</div>
<div>His feeding line has been moved to his nose, so bottle feedings should become much easier on him. We're hoping he'll start learning to nurse before long. He weighed 5lbs. a couple of days ago and is getting the sweetest baby cheeks  We are so thankful!

Supporting the family of Lucas Taylor

<div>This fundraiser is for Steve and Laura Martin to help with costs of their son’s funeral and burial. My best friend and her husband received the devastating news that their oldest son, Earl Gideon, died unexpectedly in his home in Arizona on 3/22/24. My name is Rebecca Riehl and I’ve been given the honor of helping this family in need. Our hearts are broken for their loss. Earl Gideon was 20, and they loved him dearly. Thank you in advance for all who help this family in their season of grief! They have one other son in heaven, Aaron was 5 when he passed away in 2013. They have 5 children here on earth. (Their 2nd son Marrion isn’t in this photo.)

She turned 16 this year and was just the picture of what every Family's dream would be for a daughter, Just a Beautiful soul from the inside out! She was loved and adored by every one that met her, and stole the hearts of any Baby or Child that came in contact with her.  Her Daddy is self employed and her Momma is a full time homemaker and their children are their lives! Everything they do is for their children and the betterment of their children's lives! Anyone that has met this precious family would not hesitate to agree with me when I say that they are just the cream of the crop... just the best of the best! Anyone that would like to give to this Amazing Family, it will be greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for this family during this most difficult time. Thank you to all and God bless.
