Help the Marquis Family Navigate This Tough Season

Dear friends, family, and community,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits. Our beloved Natalie, a vibrant 39-year-old mother of two, has recently suffered a devastating brain aneurysm. This sudden and life-threatening medical emergency has turned their world upside down, and we're seeking your support during this incredibly challenging time.

Natalie is a loving wife to her husband, Vince, and an amazing mother to their two wonderful children, Max (10) and Lucy (13). If you know her, you love her. It’s been so evident through all of this how many people call Natalie “friend” or “sister”. She is a gift to everyone around her, as she keeps us all together and organized and is a constant voice of wisdom. She has a tender heart for people and she loves those around her fiercely. Whatever time, talent or treasure God has entrusted her with she is always willing to give of those things freely and selflessly.

Vince, Natalie’s husband, is a dedicated pastor at Love City Church in Norwood, Ohio. His unwavering commitment to his congregation means that he only takes a partial salary, and works part time as a general contractor to make up the rest of his salary. However, with Natalie unable to work and Vince being by her side and not working his contracting job, the bills will begin to pile up, and his partial salary is not enough to sustain their family’s monthly expenses.

Natalie is currently in the hospital receiving critical care. Her road to recovery will most likely be long and arduous, requiring extensive rehabilitation and therapy. While we are grateful for the medical team working tirelessly to help her, we don't want the financial strain to become overwhelming for them.

We are humbly asking for your help to ease this burden. Your generous donations will go directly towards:

• Supporting day-to-day expenses such as mortgage, utilities, and groceries.

• Covering any medical bills that they may incur through the whole process of recovery

and ongoing treatment for Natalie.

• Providing a sense of stability for Max and Lucy during this uncertain time.

Every little bit helps, and no donation is too small. If you are unable to contribute financially, we kindly ask for your prayers and for you to share Natalie’s story. Your support and kindness will make a world of difference for their family as they navigate this difficult journey.

Our hope is in Christ Alone, always has been, always will be. We are so grateful that so many are hoping and trusting with us. We love you all very much.

We're so grateful for the generosity they've been shown so far and are grateful for everyone's continued generosity and continued prayers.

With gratitude,

Baker, Marquis and Love City Family
