Get Mike Kintner to Kansas re: Mom

Mike Kinter is a fb friend of mine who has his own home construction business.  I've watched his daily posts for more than 2 years now.   He works hard and goes to work even when his back goes "out" on him or he's sick, he puts God and his family first,  is a staunch patriot who loves his family and our country.  Mike has always been one of the first in line to extend a hand to those in need. 

Now it is his turn to need a hand.

Mike Kinter's mom , who lives in Kansas, has suddenly become hospitalized because she fell twice in the past week. The doctors suspect that cancer is in her brain, causing those falls.  They also have reason to believe that cancer is in other parts of her body.   Exploratory surgery is scheduled to be done today.  Chemotherapy is due to be scheduled as soon as her weight can be raised and her blood pressure lowered.  

Mike lives in upstate New York and  isn't able to get to Kansas to be with her due to this being the  slow time for his work.  Plain and simple, the money is too tight.  He has asked for everyone to pray and I thought we might take this one step further.  Many of us would love to be able to help him get out to Kansas but none of us can afford to fund the entire trip. However, we each can donate one,  five or ten dollars apiece.   There are a few thousand of us who are Mike's fb "friends" and we could get this done quickly. 

The money would be used for Mike's (and possibly his wife and son - that's up to Mike to decide) transportation  to/from Kansas,  his transportation and food while in Kansas so that he doesn't become a burden on relatives and can pay his own way in their eyes.    I have no idea if $5k is not enough or too much to ask for.  Gofundme requested a dollar limit to be set, so that is what I chose.  

To everyone who donates,  thank you!  Many of you have found yourself "behind the eight ball" at one time or another yourself and got unexpected help, so here is your chance to pay it forward.

The following is what Mike has posted on FB.
 
"....She has had a couple falls over the last week and they weren't quite sure what it was and then I got a couple calls from my Aunt Bonnie Conard-Hamilton a couple days ago from the hospital in Salina, KS and they THINK that she has (please forgive me if I don't have this information exactly right) cancer in her leg, on her ovary, on her lung and in/on her brain and that's why she fell twice over the last week.Today they are going in and are gonna take a look at the spot on her lung and possibly remove it or some of it to find out if its cancerous or not. They want to start chemo this week, but they first need to get her body up to normal and her rate DOWN to normal because she is lacking normal health as far as her weight being below normal and her heart rate was extremely high so they spent 5 hours, I believe, trying to get it down to normal.

I feel completely helpless because I can not be there. This is my slow season for work and Christmas and the boys birthdays has left me broke and this couldn't come at a worse of a time. We live in upstate New York so there is no way we will be able to make another trip to Kansas, but there IS something that I CAN do and that is to pray and put this in God's hands and that is the only reason why I am putting this out there.

I believe in prayer because I KNOW first hand that prayers work because I have personally witnessed first hand the miracles take place. You may not know this because I don't always say anything when one of you guys ask for prayers for this and that, but I actually stop what I am doing, turn down the tv and pray for you guys all the time and now I am asking YOU to do the same for my Mother in hopes that it will change the outcome of the results that the doctors may or may not find today.

PLEASE do not inbox, call or text my Mother right now! She needs to rest and she needs to stay calm right now until further notice. Either me or my Aunt Bonnie will keep you updated so PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT HER IN ANY WAY until we give the ok.

Now, lets all turn off our tv and bow our heads and pray:

"Father God, we first come to you in praise today as always. We thank you for the many blessing you have given us, will give us today and will give us in the days ahead. Lord, we come to you today in prayer for my Mother, Jeri Scheuerman, as she has become ill and we ask of you Lord, to be with her, to give her strength and healing. Father God, we beg of you to be with the doctors and the staff working on her and may you bless them as they look over her. And Lord, may you remove this illness that is there and heal her Lord for you ARE a healing Lord, a loving God and a compassionate God. YOU Lord, we trust in, we confide in, in all things on Earth and in Heaven and we put our trust in Your hands today and the days to come as we go forward in these difficult times. And Father God, we pray to you now heavenly Father, to give her courage and strength through the Holy Spirit. Reach into her heart and give her content and remove any fear or worry Lord. Be with her and bless her with a positive outcome and remove this illness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

I want to personally thank everyone that prays for my Mother. Thank you! And THANK YOU LORD for hearing our prayers and healing my Mother. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!......."
