Update: John Paul saw his orthopedic doctor recently and he has advised two more months of physical therapy. He has already missed 10 weeks of work. I’m really scared for him to be out of work this long and we do not have the funds to cover two more months of no work. Please pray for us and please help our family if you are able. Sharing our fundraiser with others would be a great blessing.

On Thursday, February 5th, our family experienced an unexpected hardship when my husband, John Paul, suffered a serious fall and injured his knee. He is currently on crutches, unable to bear weight on that leg, and needs help with many basic, everyday tasks. We are awaiting approval for an MRI so that the doctors can determine the full extent of the injury and what treatment will be needed. Until we receive those results, there is much uncertainty about his recovery.

John Paul has always been the sole provider for our family, and we are blessed with eleven children. Because of this injury, he is unable to work and will be without pay during this time.

Several friends and family members have lovingly asked how they can help, and for that reason we have created this GiveSendGo page. Any support received will go directly toward our basic needs such as food, household bills, and medical expenses while we wait for answers and for John Paul to heal.

More than anything, we ask for your prayers for his recovery and for our family during this difficult season. We place our trust in God's providence and in the charity of others, knowing that the Lord works through His people. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and generosity.
