Linette's Emergency Care Fund
Linette is a devoted employee of Merrimack Valley Baptist Church and has been for nearly 15 years. She selflessly serves in ministries at South Merrimack Christian Academy, too. Linette is facing a difficult time as her husband has suffered a major stroke and will likely require 24/7 care in a nursing home. This unexpected turn of events has left Linette with substantial medical and living expenses to contend with, as her husband is no longer able to work to help provide for their family. Despite her own financial struggles, Linette remains committed to her work and the ministry at MVBC and SMCA, pouring her life into the community she serves.
As a faithful member of the community, Linette has touched countless lives through her tireless efforts and dedication. Now, we have an opportunity to give back and support her in her time of need. The goal of this campaign is to raise at least $5000 to help cover the financial burden of her husband's care and living expenses, ensuring that Linette can continue to serve the community she loves without the added stress of financial hardship.
Your donation, no matter the amount, will bring hope and relief to Linette during this challenging time. Your support will not only provide for their immediate needs but also enable Linette to continue her to support her husband while he is in the hospital. We ask that you consider donating to this campaign and praying for Linette and her family as they navigate this difficult season. Together, we can make a difference in the life of this faithful servant and her family. Thank you for your generosity and support!

Dear Linette, My heart goes out to you and all you are now going through. You are such a faithful sister and friend. I wish I could give you $5k as that is what my heart desires but finances have been difficult since Covid hit our marketing business. I love you and will be lifting you in prayer

It’s been a little while since my last update, and this will likely be the last one for some time.
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest thanks to each and every one of you who donated to this fund. You will never truly know how much your support meant to me, especially during those difficult early days of this journey.
God is good, and I am so grateful for the generous and caring people He has placed in my life.
Joe is continuing to recover from the massive stroke he suffered in early April. It’s going to be a long road, but we’re taking it one step at a time. He is currently in a rehab center, and we expect the next stages of recovery will unfold over the coming weeks and months.
Once again, thank you all for the love, prayers, and financial support. These funds will be put to good use as we navigate the uncertainty ahead. I am forever grateful.

Health Update
First, I want to thank everyone for all your prayers — they are what I covet most and what has been carrying me through.
Second, your financial support has been absolutely overwhelming. When Nikki first approached me with the idea of asking for help, I was concerned no one would contribute. Your generosity has truly brought me to tears, and I am so deeply grateful.
It has come to my attention that many of you are asking for an update — and trust me, I wish I had more to share. Unfortunately, there has not been much progress yet.
The doctors have explained that every stroke is different. In Joe’s case, while his speech has not been completely affected, he is having a very hard time finding the right words when speaking. Additionally, he has no feeling on the entire right side of his body, which has left him confined to a bed for the past 19 days.
We had been planning to move him to rehab, but unfortunately, that has had to be canceled twice due to an extremely high white blood cell count. As far as a prognosis goes... we simply have to wait. The doctors are not able to give us much information right now, except to remind us that every stroke journey is unique.
Please know I have not delayed sharing an update for any reason other than that there hasn’t been much to report. Time will tell more, and until then, we continue to pray, hope, and trust.
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
