Michael‘s Dream

Donation protected
My name is Melanie Burnsed. I’m the virtuous wife of one truly amazing man. He’s the Lover of my life and we need your help.

God chose Michael Burnsed in my single-mother asking to be my husband and soulmate 30 years ago. Some of you may know him. We met on a family camping trip. He was a single father of three determined to be a great dad so he adopted my girl to help raise her into a kind caring beautiful soul.

Eventually, we started a door/window business that went bankrupt after 10 years due to the 2008 housing market crash. Michael came to me with a plan to live, grow and build a homestead off-grid.. Proverbs 16:9 came to life to jump-start what I call his deferred HEART DREAM.

Fast forward… We’re five years into living and loving our dream but not without its fair share of challenges; his cancer, water well issues and the pandemic to name a few. Today we face our biggest challenge yet and we need your help.

Michael took a traumatic fall in December that landed him a fractured collarbone and four cracked ribs which have since healed, yet it’s morphed into something much worse….swelling to his left hand and elbow leaving him unable to work. His hand will not respond to signals sent from his brain and it’s really starting to scare him. We went from being the dynamic duo to super solo and it’s beginning to take a toll on us both. His injury causes him extreme pain and suffering that’s difficult to manage. We’ve been to several doctors throughout the process. Now he awaits results from a Brachial Plexus MRI: the injury stats show a six-month window of opportunity before permanent loss of function. Please pray….

Our HEART DREAM plan was to finish the house this year and secure a small mortgage next year to satisfy the land balloon payment for Third Day Ranch due April 2023; however, without the use of Lover’s hand we’re beginning to question our ability to go it alone. So we humbly ask the universe for help!

Please hope for a positive outcome and full restoration to Lover’s hand.

Please donate…any amount is graciously and gratefully appreciated. Thank YOU!

Most of all, please share MICHAEL’S HEART DREAM as we actively wait for God's Mighty Hand and the help of beautiful souls like you, to turn our terrifying tragedy into a terrific triumph in the powerful name of Jesus! Thank you and God bless you all! ❤️❤️❤️
