God is Faithful

Please pray for us as we continue this process of trying to make our life safer and less painful.



As I have written before, we have been greatly blessed by so many people that are moved to assist us. There has been a fundraiser at school which produced a very large check. We are very grateful for all of the efforts of so many to undertake such a task.



We have also been blessed by the two charities that have come together to raise money and donate time to fix problems in the house and make it more accessible. One is called Hearth and the other COTF (Cincinnati Occupational Therapy Foundation). We are truly overwhelmed that so many people feel compelled to help us. COTF is currently taking donations for materials for the adaptions for the house. (see http://www.cintiotinstitute.com/cotf/)

Also, we have been approved for a Level 1 waiver from the state that will assist with this modifications. This is truly a miracle and are grateful for this as well.

Our current problem is trying to find a vehicle that will accommodate 2 power chairs if not 3. We are working with a company that is trying to find a van that everyone in the family will be able to fit inside. A mini van will only provide room for 4 people. We would need to find a full sized van which raises the price considerably. Again, we have been blessed by a grant from the Allison Kline Foundation to help with the modifications that will be at least $22,000. This is on top of the actual vehicle (in the range of 25,000-35,000). Because of years of out of pocket expenses and the loss of my income, we have little in our budget. Right now, things look impossible.

I know I should not despair because God has provided at every turn on this journey. We are trying to step out in faith that all will work out some how. God has been so faithful, that I feel badly for even questioning. Just the hint of a large monthly payment makes us cringe. We just do not know where it will come from.

Please pray that we are able to keep our eyes on our Heavenly Father and trust, like a child, that He will find a way.
