Many months ago we made a decision to slow down on Give a Blessing! It had been an unbelievable way to raise help for those in need. We felt God was telling us to wait upon His calling for the next right moment to call Give a Blessing! into action. We believe he has.
Two years ago we introduced you to Carley Hoffman. A Beautiful little girl that was diagnosed with high risk, stage four Neuroblastoma. You followed her story and gave from your hearts to help her family as she went through 6 rounds of high dose chemotherapy, 4 surgeries, an experimental phase 1 stem cell transplant, 12 days of external radiation, 5 rounds of antibody therapy, and 6 rounds of Accutane therapy. And she survived with no evidence of disease and was Blessed.
Last week, the lives of the Hoffman family were yet again rocked as a drunk driver slammed into the back of their van just miles from home. In the moments to follow, Carley, Emily and Zach were airlifted to local Fort Wayne hospitals. Ethan, and Christina were taken via EMS. One year old Emily, has a broken leg. She has a cast from her waist to her ankle on one side and waist to her knee on the other. Five-year-old Zachary, has two broken legs and had surgery to put plates in. Seven-year-old, Carley has a broken big toe. Christina's (mom) back is very sore. Her 3 year old brother, Ethan did not survive the crash. The funeral was last week. As the broken bones and bruised bodies continue to heal, the journey of their mending hearts has only begun. The Hoffmans have great faith and are experiencing the peace and comfort found only in the Hands of Christ.
We are asking our Give a Blessing! friends to once again stand with us, arm and arm, as we raise awareness and funds for the Hoffman Family. They are in need of our prayers, our support and our love.
SEEK Be still and pray. How does God want to use you?
