Our hearts are heavy as we come together to support someone who means so much to our Circle K family and our community — Gabriel. Gabriel is the kind of person you don’t forget. If you’ve ever walked into our store, chances are you’ve been greeted by his smile, his kindness, and his willingness to help without hesitation. He treats customers like family and shows up every day with a positive attitude, no matter what. 
<br>
<br>
 Recently, Gabriel was involved in a severe accident while riding his bike and was hit by a vehicle. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, he had to be airlifted to Loma Linda, where he is currently receiving medical care. Right now, Gabriel is facing a long and uncertain road to recovery. As you can imagine, the medical expenses, time away from work, and the challenges ahead are overwhelming. This is where we are asking for help — to come together and support him the same way he has always supported everyone around him. 
<br>
<br>
 Your support will go toward medical expenses and hospital bills, recovery and rehabilitation, daily living expenses during his healing process, and supporting him and his family during this difficult time. No donation is too small. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Gabriel in your thoughts and prayers. Let’s come together as a community and show Gabriel he’s not alone in this fight. He has always been there for others — now it’s our turn to be there for him. Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.

Help Gabriel Recover After a Devastating Accident

<div><strong>Our daughter Lily is beginning a serious medical journey to treat her severe scoliosis.</strong> Her doctors have recommended a special treatment called Halo Traction, which will help stretch her spine before her final correction surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 7, Lily had a back surgery to remove the rods the hardware and screws. Lily has had two rod replacement surgery before, because she's outgrown the magec growingrods.
</div>
<div>Also, she was placed in halo traction, which will stretch her ligaments and muscles to allow for a better correction and a greater degree of straightness. The metal "halo" come with 8 screws that are drilled directly into the skull. Once the halo is secured, that is when weights are placed. It is 40% of the weight of person that is used with fully system to pull the back, ligaments, muscles as a stretch.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lily will spend six weeks in halo traction for 23 hours a day. She is allowes one hour without weights. The six weeks is to encourage the body and spine to move into alignment.
</div>
<div>Lily has many complex issues with her spine. Many of her bones are fused together and even missing vertebrae and ribs. So much is happening to her body.
</div>
<div>After this six week period, she will have a second surgery. This is when she will have not one but TWO growing rods surgically placed. This surgery is scheduled for May 19th, to place a new set of "magic rods"—rods that telescope and grow with her. The exact date to go ho.rwill be determined with recovery in the hospital for a week post op.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All this will help give her long-term spinal stability and hope for growth@ it is our pray that Lily will begin to see her body grow stronger and with height. She is on growth hormones so with more room we pray her body will begin to sprout taller. At age 9 Lily is the size of a 4 or 5 year old. Her height is a point of frustration because she is a roller-coaster lover and hopes to do to Disney to ride bigger rides! #goals
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this journey, I (her mom) will stay in Salt Lake City with Lily, while her dad will work part time and stay at home to care for our other children (8 boys!!!) . They will all work together to juggle work, household duties, and school. Yep, it will be a huge balancing act.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How can you support Lily's surgery? </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Spiritually</strong>: Considering to dedicate prayers for us daily. With prayers we can see Lily stays healthy, she gets a good out comes for surgery. Pray for peace and happiness over the whole family. And pray God provides for the bills that come in. <strong>Physcally</strong>: You can show us with grociers or a meal. You can visit LILY in Salt Lake. <strong>Emotionally</strong>: write a card for lily. Facetime us! You can provide a SMALL toy or gift for comfort and joy for emotional support. OR <strong>Give</strong>: You can give and share our gofundme with your friends or at church.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We do have insurance! There will still be medical costs and many moresupportopportunities over these months. (Extras include: medical expense relief, family support, living support, Salt Lake City travel support, and homeschool support, food support, arts and crafts support. Family visiting support.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for continuing to pray and help not make medical debt something we have to stress about. Life is awsome. Debt is not.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People can give as they feel led, and if they wish, they can note exactly what they'd like their gift to be used for—whether medical costs, travel, or homeschooling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Additionally, if anyone would like to give a special gift for Lily—such as stuffed animals, dolls, or balloons—these small joys help lower her stress and bring her comfort during this difficult time. We are so grateful for everyone who has read this far and for all the prayers, love, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bless you all!
</div>

<div><strong>We thank God for each one of you!</strong>

Jason Coverett Emergency Relief

<p>Greetings friends and family,<br /><br />We trust that you all are doing well and off to the start of an amazing 2018.<br /><br />Last year, many of you helped support and send me to Cyprus to serve with an organization called Frontier Alliance International (FAI) during a week long gathering of new missionaries and missionaries already on the field throughout the Middle East.  The mission statement of FAI is <strong>"Exalting the worth of Jesus Christ among the unreached and unengaged at the end of the age". </strong> You can find out more about FAI by clicking <a href="http://faimission.org" target="_blank">here</a>.  <br /><br />You can also watch a brief news story about one of the projects they are involved in by clicking below:<br /><br /><iframe media_type="2" media_id="247674198" class="youtube-replace" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/247674198" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="margin-bottom:20px"></iframe><br />As you may know, various countries throughout the Middle East are currently experiencing a powerful move of God.  In fact, the fastest growing church in the world is now in Iran! However, such a spiritual momentum does not come without a significant price that is paid by many believers.  <br /><br />This year, both Charlene and I have been invited to lead worship and minister to this precious band of brothers and sisters that are serving Jesus in some difficult areas throughout the Middle East. <br /><br />We cannot think of a better way to use the gifts that the Lord has given us.  Would you consider joining us in this mission by making a financial contribution?<br /><br />May He contine to shine His face upon you,<br /><br />Stephen &amp; Charlene</p>
