Humbled

We just wanted to take another opportunity to thank all of you who have carried this burden with us. Most importantly, how you have prayed for us. We are truly seeing your prayers being answered. We are also humbled by your generosity. Even before the Green Turtle event, there were so many of you that were quick to offer money for gas and parking. Just wanted to let you know that because of your generosity through the fundraiser, we will be able to make a wonderful donation to the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation and have no worries about paying for Sarah's care. Some of you have asked how we plan on using the money. We plan on saving all the money and using it for things like medical bills, co-pays, gas, and parking (when you're there as much as we are, those things add up). Another thing would be having a professional cleaner come in so we can be sure the house is safe for Sarah while she is more susceptible to sickness.

We are so grateful for the support we have received throughout these last few months. There are so many times when we say to each other, how do people walk through something like this without a church, family, and friends. The way we have been cared for has truly been an expression of God's love and faithfulness to us. As much as we would like to write a personal thank you note to all of you, we realize that is not going to be a reality. So please accept this as a thank you. It hardly seems sufficient in light of all that you have done for us, but for now it will have to do. There have been so many people who have supported us. Some of you are dear friends, some of you we haven't seen in years, others are friends of our family, and others of you we have never even met. It is so neat to see how something like this draws people together. We will never stop expressing gratefulness to God for each of you, and will never tire of thanking you.
