<div>The Sears family needs your help! Jason Sears has been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. Spinal Chordoma is diagnosed in only one in one million Americans. This process to diagnose has already led them on a medically expensive journey that is sure to continue now that the cancer is diagnosed. We are asking people to donate to this go fund me to alleviate the medical deductible of $5,000, help with co pays for expensive surgery and hospital stay and the radiation treatments, and to provide some help for him being off work which has now exceeded 6 months. Jason works for Casey’s and Mary(my sister) works for Webb City School district. They have a high school junior, Haidyn and a freshmen, Paisley. In cases like these we all want to help. This is a way you can help the family navigate this extremely difficult journey. We all believe that Jason’s healing is in the hands of the our Lord, the Great Physician. We humbly ask that you put this family on your prayer list and not remove them until Jason rings the bell! We are trusting God in all things.
</div>
<div>Update: Jason has severe spinal damage caused by radiation. It has caused him to not be able to walk due to numbness below the waist. He has been forced from his job with Casey’s and is trying to complete some treatments at KU med. He will be losing his insurance June 30, 2026. This family needs help getting a bed Jason can use and paying for medical expenses as well as some daily living. Jason did take out a disability policy that is helping with some portion of his salary. Please pray and support if you can.

<div>Dear Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let me tell you about my amazing friend, Liz Cameron! I’ve known Liz since we were babies and we’ve been best friends since we were skinny little third-graders. She has been there for me (and so many others!) through thick and thin, and is one of the most generous, faithful, compassionate, and pure-hearted people I know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liz is a single mother to Gabe and works full-time as a registered nurse in Salem, Oregon. Liz has deep roots in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has had custody of Gabe since his birth, and he lives with her full-time. Liz has been in the throes of difficult custody/visitation proceedings for the past 3 years. Liz desires the best for her sweet and highly-sensitive 5-year-old son, Gabe. She adores Gabe with all of her heart and is the best mama, so in-tune with his needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liz is currently at a critical juncture in court proceedings, and needs our help to finish strong as she contends for the emotional well-being of her precious son, Gabe. The money from this GoFundMe will go directly to Liz, and 100% of the funds will be used to cover legal expenses. The final court hearing is scheduled for mid-September, and then the attorney bills will finally stop rolling in every 10 days. She is so close to the end of this excruciating legal process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liz has been so strong, for so long, and except for basic living expenses is giving every dollar she earns to pay for legal fees. Despite the generosity from her wonderful family and handful of close friends, Liz is still in need of support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s been hard to see my dear friend struggle over the past few years. Being a single mom is a monumental task in and of itself, and with the financial strain of legal fees and deep fears for her son’s security and stability, the stress of Liz’s everyday life is simply unimaginable. She is trusting God, and working hard, and still finds herself falling behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I ask her how she does it–how she keeps going when she is sinking deeper into debt and feeling like the water levels are rising. She replies that it is only by God’s grace. She keeps putting one foot in front of the other, doing the next right thing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will you join me in lifting Liz up in practical ways during this difficult season? Liz covets your prayers for her and Gabe and would love to connect with you if you would like to learn more. Anything you are able to give will be so very appreciated. That’s the beauty of crowd-funding–every amount, every random act of kindness adds up in big ways! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Liz’s story and for giving. Thank you for shining brightly when she needs us most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />

Beautiful Liz: Single Mom and RN in Time of Need

<div>Hello everyone, my name is Jessica Johnson and I've had the privilege of not only working with Natasha Hunter, but gotten to know some of her family as well. On Wednesday night her husband and son were involved in quite the accident.  Her husband, Randy, is still in Fargo with lung issues. Luckily, her son was able to go home with minor health concerns. Currently randy is without medical insurance and Tasha is missing work and money is tight with getting back in forth from Detroit lakes to Fargo and just basic living needs.  If we can pull together and help in anyway, it would mean so much.
</div>
<div>Thank you so much
</div>

Please help the Hunter Family

<div>Thank you for considering giving to support Lindy and the Copeland Family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On February 10th, the Copelands received devastating news. Lindy, 33, was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/63427457_1645370471701733_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/63427457_1645370488459401_r." width="100%" />
<div>Lindy gave birth just shy of a year prior, and her health has progressively declined. Months after baby Everett was born, Lindy was experiencing severe migraines, nausea, memory loss, and a myriad of other symptoms – including personality changes. She’d been misdiagnosed by 4 different doctors who repeatedly labeled her disturbing irregularities as: “postpartum,” "long COVID," and “thyroid related.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lindy’s headaches became increasingly more severe, and after Lindy began exhibiting stroke-like symptoms, she was rushed to the emergency room by her husband. The hospital again discharged Lindy with migraine medicine. Exasperated, her husband demanded a CT scan, which revealed a sizable brain tumor over 3” in size on the front right lobe of Lindy’s brain, near both her sinus cavity and her optic nerve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lindy is a self-employed photographer and the primary breadwinner for her family. She specializes in weddings and as her symptoms have escalated, they have gradually disrupted her ability to work. It is currently unknown at what point of her healing she will be able to return to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is suspected that the tumor is a benign meningioma, but we will not know the outcome until after excision and pathology. While the surgeon is confident of a positive outcome, there are the potential significant risks to a surgery of this caliber. This type of tumor, while slow growing, it does have the risk of returning at some point. Assuming surgery goes well, Lindy’s full recovery could take up to two years. The healing timeframe and associated risks could increase if the tumor is found to be malignant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal of these funds is to help cover Lindy’s expenses for up to the next two years as she will be recovering from surgery. While the need has been set with this initial estimate, depending on long-term coverage of medical costs and outcomes of the procedure, the request will be adjusted accordingly. Likely the surgery alone will cost upwards of $500,000, not including hospital expenses. The family is hopeful a large part will be covered under their Christian medical sharing plan; however, this has yet to be determined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, Lindy is scheduled for surgery on Monday, February 21st.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lindy’s medical diagnosis, treatment, and healing journey is just beginning. With her role being the primary breadwinner, the impact of her not working during the healing process will be highly impactful to her, Sterling, and their son Everett. Anything you can contribute to this cause is greatly appreciated. On behalf of the Copeland family, thank you in advance.

Support for Lindy Copeland’s Brain Tumor Surgery

<p>Eugene Metcalf passed away November 15th, 2020 after a suffering a large brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage presumably from a ruptured aneurysm) the beginning of October. He leaves behind Amber, his wife, as well as their 4 children, Audrey (9yrs), Avileen (5yrs), Gabriel (3yrs) and Tobias (4 months).<br /><br />It was always Eugene’s desire to provide for his family so that Amber could stay home with the children and be a full time Mom. Amber has not worked outside the home since the birth of their second child in 2015 and has been dedicated to running the household and homeschooling the children. <strong>Our hopes are to raise several months' worth of expenses so that Amber may remain home with the children as they all adjust and prepare for this new chapter in their lives.</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_160677148787275_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_160677148787275_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Though 2020 has been challenging, it was also full of blessing for the Metcalf family. After looking for a new career and much prayer, Eugene enrolled in Tulsa Welding School night classes in January and completed his welding training with perfect attendance and excellent grades in August, all while still working full time and welcoming the newest addition to the family in mid-July. He was thrilled to put his newly-learned skill to work with his bittersweet job change in May of this year when he moved to Sunglow and began welding aluminum awning frames. The job brought much joy to Eugene as he thoroughly enjoyed getting to know his new coworkers and boss. <br /><br />He celebrated his 38th birthday in September with many friends and family and much fanfare. He had great hopes and plans for the years to come.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606771696355832_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606771696355832_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>Why $12,000?</strong><br /><br />Eugene’s income had been about $2200 a month and was going to rise, but in addition to regular expenses, Amber and Eugene had taken out a student loan for the welding school. The loan’s current balance is approximately $14,000, and payments will begin in January. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Raising $12,000 for the Metcalfs will provide five month's worth of expenses while Amber finds solutions for loan repayment.</span> The payoff amount for their mortgage is approximately $24,000. Funds above and beyond the GoFundMe goal will be put toward these balances and reduce Amber’s monthly payments in 2021.<br /><br />Buying this time for Amber will give her the flexibility to find new ways to earn some income from home or other creative ideas that allow her to still focus on raising the children.<br /><br /><strong>Who is Behind this Fundraiser?</strong><br /><br />We are family and friends of Eugene and Amber Metcalf, raising money for Amber to meet several months of expenses until she figures out a new situation. She and the four children (ages 9, 5, 3, and 4.5 months) will find ways to earn from home. Jared Buswell (brother-in-law married to Janice, Amber's sister) is managing this fundraiser with Amber and Janice, and all funds go directly to Amber from your donations through GoFundMe.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606842159290100_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52863344_1606842159290100_r.jpeg" /><br /><br /><strong>Can I Give by Check? Will There Be Fees and Taxes?</strong>
</p>

<p>Amber will not have to pay taxes on your gifts through this GoFundMe fundraiser, and your gifts will not be tax deductible. Every donation will be considered as personal gifts by the IRS, and they'll go directly to her bank account. GoFundMe does not charge you or Amber any fees, but about 3% of each donation will be deducted for credit card processing.<br /><br />If you prefer to give by check (no 3% processing fee), you can mail one written to Amber Metcalf to the following address. You will not receive public recognition on this online fundraiser, but Amber will receive your gift and your note directly. This address is not her home, but it can securely receive mail and packages for Amber and the kids:<br /><br />Amber Metcalf<br />7331 S Olympia Ave,<br />#306<br />Tulsa, OK 74132<br /><br />You are welcome to call us with any questions or ideas for helping out. Also, Jared will be monitoring comments here on the GoFundMe page.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606771206230474_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606771206230474_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Here is Amber’s Facebook update that she shared November 25th:<br /><br /><em>Friends and Family, this is a post I had every hope would be different but the time has come. Eugene passed away Nov 15th, we laid him to rest today in the presence of family and friends.</em><br /><br /><em>We were camping with our congregation for the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) the beginning of October and on the first of the 8 days, Eugene hurt his shoulder hauling an ice chest. I took him to the chiropractor on Monday, a couple days later, who put a rib back in place and did a full adjustment. He started having a headache shortly thereafter. We assumed it was referred pain that would subside after all the muscles settled down. It did not. Thursday night it became unbearable and he lost feeling in his legs. We rushed him to the ER where they found a large brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage), presumably from a ruptured aneurysm. He became unresponsive and stopped breathing shortly after arriving at the ER.</em><br /><br /><em>He was life-flighted to St Francis, October 9th and remained on a ventilator. I spent the next few weeks back and forth between the hospital and the house, visiting him daily while wonderful friends provided meals and cared for the kids. Many of you have been supporting us in prayer as well, though I chose to not post publicly until now.</em><br /><br /><em>It has been a long 48 days, but God is faithful and has given me complete peace at every major step. He has brought amazing people into my life and given me much encouragement. The children are doing well, they have handled everything like troopers though of course there have been tears.</em><br /><br /><em>As I said, I feel complete peace. I feel that I have done all that God has asked of me in this time and process. We shot for the fences and trust God for the rest. This too is for the good.</em><br /><br /><em>Eugene has an amazing legacy in the people he has touched and in his family. He always asked “Which is better? A long life or an honorable death?” His answer “An honorable death.” He spent his last days with the people he cared for deeply, serving and teaching, letting nothing hold him back. He was cooking over a grill enjoying the company of friends the last night and singing praise and worship. Through the pain of the ride to the ER he was singing this song...</em><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606770812516985_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606770812516985_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br /><strong>Thank you for your prayers, love, and generosity.<br /><br /></strong><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606771783853408_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606771783853408_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606771765792206_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606771765792206_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606772036628964_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606772036628964_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606771828509109_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606771828509109_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52863344_1606773253712606_r.jpeg" alt="52863344_1606773253712606_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

My son Jim died one year ago today, 12 days before his 24th birthday. <br />Wonderful friends and family helped financially with his memorial service, cremation and burial. <br /><img src="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408298399.9175.jpg" alt="" width="100%" media_url="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408298399.9175.jpg" media_type="" /><br /><br /><br />We really thought we would've had enough money by now to buy a headstone but here it is a year later and we are still not caught up. Our youngest daughter is in college and we're doing all we can to get her through.  <br /><br />We are just wanting a pretty basic headstone. I thought maybe if we could get several folks to donate a little, we could get enough to finally get him a headstone. It's worth a try, right?<br /><br />Right now he has a little metal temporary plaque with his name and date.  It makes me sad when I go out there or if someone wants to go visit him because it's so empty without a stone.<br />And frankly, it's a little embarrassing.<br />At least we buried him by a tree, and I plant flowers out there... but it still looks so.. barren.<br /><br /><img src="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408300195.8565.jpg" alt="" width="100%" media_url="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408300195.8565.jpg" media_type="" /><br />I had a wooden cross my mom had made where the little pole is but someone broke it. Found it in pieces laying by the bench. <br />The little stone on it says 'beloved son'. Thankfully, no one has stolen that. I've put out several things that weren't worth much but that meant something and things kept getting stolen... <br /><br />Thankfully he had a daughter well... a little early. But so very thankful he did because we still have part of him with us, and she is such a joy in our lives! She is 8 years old now.<br /><br />He was such a FUNNY fun guy and always did something, anything to make us laugh. I miss that so very much! There will never be anyone like him. <br /><br /><img src="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408300583.9632.jpg" alt="" width="100%" media_url="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/upd_1620300_1408300583.9632.jpg" media_type="" /><br />He had bad anxiety and depression. He had just come home from treatment - he'd been gone over 8 months. He was so ready to start a new life! He was going to meetings every day and anxious about his new life but open to all of the possibilities...  he had just found a sponsor that night. <br />Then we went to bed and when his dog woke me up I went to his room and found him unconcious.. we couldn't wake him up so we called the ambulance. They said he had respiratory and cardiac failure. 4 days later we disconnected his respirator. He never woke up or regained conciousness. He evidently got hold of some bad drugs - I'm guessing he was so anxious he thought he could secretly escape for a little bit - and escape, he did. <br />I honestly don't think he meant to die. We were so close, I know he would've left me a note or something.. <br /><br />It was so sad that he left us on the upswing with so much hope in his life.. but on second thought I'm glad it was then instead of during a time of him having no hope..  <br />But either way, I still can't believe my son is gone. I couldn't explain to anyone who hasn't experienced it what a terrible thing it is to lose a child.. and if you haven't, I sure hope you never understand. <br /><br /><br /><br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="http://3b4efb995be6c5c64252-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.r12.cf1.rackcdn.com/1966095_1408301209.9171_multi.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><br />So please help us? Just a small donation will help.<br />This boy needs a headstone. It's the least we can do now. <br />It means so much to us.<br />Thank you so much for reading our story!
