Miles Jantzi

David and Saralyn feel immensely thankful for the excellent health insurance coverage and health care in Washington State. They are also grateful for the supportive community that they have here in Washington- the Washington Mennonite Fellowship churches, the Camrec Board, the neighbors on their road, and the bigger circles of family and friends all over the country and around the world who are praying with them for Miles.

Even though they are not fearing catastrophic medical bills, Miles' hospitalization will have a significant financial impact on them. They are staying three hours away from home while Miles is in Seattle Children's Hospital. David supplements their income from Camp Camrec by being part of the nursing pool at Cascade Medical Center. During this time, he is not able to maintain their income level because he is paid only when he works. There are also related expenses of many meals out and additional travels for checkups and follow-up to come.

We have recently increased the fundraising goal in light of the many financial uncertainties on the horizon for Miles' family.  Miles has a long road ahead of him with significant follow-up care that will require his family to be flexible.  

Some of you have asked if there is a way you could help financially. Caring Bridge has a partnership with GoFundMe that will make it possible for David and Saralyn's community to share in the expenses related to Miles' care.
