The Smith Family Fund

Hello Friends,

As many of you know, our sweet friend, Janel, had a stroke five years ago. Since that day, everything changed for the Smith family. Janel lost most of her speech along with semi-paralysis in her right leg and arm. If this isn’t enough for one family to endure, Mike was recently laid off from his job. If we’re being honest, this family is in desperate need of our help. It's heartbreaking to see life's hardships start to break the spirit of a family as financial difficulties can cause a feeling of hopelessness. We would love to raise enough money to help keep the family afloat until Mike gets another job so we created this page in the hopes that we can help ease their financial burden.

If you know Janel, you know her as a vibrant happy woman who loves her family and friends. Before her stroke, she was a very dedicated educator as well as being very active in church, which included a missionary trip with her family to Malawi in 2008. Besides being PTA President, where her boys attended school, she was also a Mommy and Me Teacher for 16 years. She has a passion for helping people and is a great woman who gave to so many, and we feel it is now our turn to give back to her and her wonderful family.

Please consider helping our friends by donating financially. We are hoping this support will encourage our precious friends to know they are not alone in this life and that God is providing through amazing people like you. God bless you.
