Because of your incredible generosity, the Espino family was provided much-needed help toward the medical expenses that have accumulated over the past three months. We are so grateful. However, significant medical expenses remain, and now there is another urgent need before the family.

It is not easy to come before you asking for help again, but by God's grace, Jediah is nearing the next step in his healing journey—coming home to Idaho.

Because he remains critically ill, medically fragile, and severely immunocompromised, he cannot travel on a commercial flight. He must be transported by a medical aircraft with trained medical personnel so he can return to Idaho and continue his recovery and physical therapy at a rehabilitation hospital in Post Falls.

Unfortunately, insurance will not cover the $28,000 cost of this medically necessary transport. With this new expense, we have increased the GiveSendGo goal to help bring Jediah home.

We have already seen God provide in incredible ways through the prayers and generosity of so many, and we continue to trust Him with each step ahead.

If the Lord leads you to give, any amount will help make it possible for Jediah to return to Idaho and continue his healing surrounded by his family and church community.

If you cannot give, please continue to pray for Jediah's complete healing, wisdom for his medical team, safe transportation, and strength for Jeremy, Nicole, and the entire Espino family. Please also consider sharing this fundraiser so others have the opportunity to help.

Thank you for standing with this family and trusting God with us through every step of this journey.

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:19

Update:

After 2 months in the hospital, Jediah is finally well enough to downgrade out of ICU to the step down ICU. He will continue his treatments and physical rehabilitation there and hopefully be transferred to a rehabilitation center in North Idaho.

Jediah still has a long road of healing ahead of him, but the money raised has lessened the burden on the family. It has gone entirely to the Surmounting medical bills and the family is so very grateful for all who have donated.

please continue to pray for Jediah and for his recovery! ❤️‍🩹

Prayers for Jediah: Help the Espino Family.

Please join us in blessing Pastor Jeremy, Nicole, and their family during this deeply difficult season. Their precious 20-year-old son, Jediah, is critically ill and currently in the ICU at Loma Linda Hospital in California. He has been hospitalized since May 3, 2026, and is now on paralytic medication, sedated, on a ventilator, and fighting a life-threatening infection. 

What began as a concern for bronchitis, then TB,  has developed into a very serious diagnosis of MAC bacterial infection, sepsis, and possible vasculitis. The family has been away from their home in Idaho, and they are facing the added burden of travel, meals, and ongoing medical-related expenses while standing faithfully beside Jediah.

As the pastor of Mt Hall Calvary Chapel in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Pastor Jeremy and his wife, Nicole have poured into many lives. Now is our opportunity to surround him, Nicole, and their 2 other children, with prayer, love, and practical support.

Every gift will help relieve some of the financial strain as they continue to trust the Lord for Jediah’s healing and strength for the days ahead.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping carry this burden with them.

Prayer Request

Pray for Jediah’s healing, strength, and complete restoration. Ask the Lord to touch his body, fight the infection, and give wisdom and skill to the medical team caring for him.

Pray for Pastor Jeremy, Nicole, Jediah's siblings and his grandparents—for peace in the midst of uncertainty, strength for each day, rest for their bodies, and comfort for their hearts. Pray that God would calm every fear, provide for their needs, and surround them with love, support, and encouragement.

Pray for God’s mercy, His presence, and His perfect will to be done. Above all, pray that this family would feel carried by the prayers of God’s people and held close in His hands.
