The McDowell Family - Tim and Laura

Hello Friends and Family,

Tim and Laura McDowell were married on December 16th in Mount Vernon, WA. Their beautiful wedding was a wonderful representation of their love for their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and desire to serve others.

Ten days later, on December 26th, the happy couple were on their way to a honeymoon getaway over Stevens Pass when they hit some ice and collided with an oncoming vehicle. The majority of the impact was on Laura's side of the car and her injuries were significant. Laura has been receiving care at a hospital in Seattle since the accident; her road to recovery is expected to be long and include months of rehab when she is able. Thankfully, Tim's injuries were minor so he has been tenderly caring for Laura at the hospital.

In addition to prayer, many have asked how to help this young couple so this GoFundMe has been set up to provide a tangible way to show Tim and Laura love and support. All funds will go directly to Tim and Laura.

For current updates on Laura, please visit CaringBridge. Please note - Tributes/donation made via CaringBridge do not go Tim and Laura.

Your prayers, words of encouragement and care are greatly appreciated by Tim and both families.

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
