Terry and his family need your help $

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Gina, and I am raising funds for Terry Shinnel, our "bonus" son. Terry was admitted to Christian hospital the first week of July with horrible pancreatitis. Within a few days, he was on the waiting list to go to Barnes Jewish. (Yes, it was that bad.) He struggled with spiking fevers, was unable to eat, got IV feeding, and had a stomach tube put in after a couple of weeks. Finally, earlier this week, he was transferred to Barnes, and, amazingly, was released to go home last night, July 28. We are praising God he is now home with his family.

Terry and Lisa have huge hearts, with 5 kids at home. Even going without Terry's income as a mail carrier for a week is tough; 4+ weeks is overwhelming. His biggest concern has been when he can get back to work. Lisa has had to keep working throughout this entire ordeal. As it is with many families, life is pay-check to pay-check.

We know times are more challenging for everyone right now, but if we all donate even a little, it can make a difference. This money will go towards groceries, utility bills, gas, upcoming school supplies for the kids, and the special food Terry needs. Who knows what the medical bills will be! They need our help to pull through this.

Any size gift will help Terry and Lisa. And....please share this so we can reach the goal.
