Hello and thank you so much for taking a moment to connect with us.
Sometimes people have done so much for us that we could never pay them back. And sometimes, we can find a way.
Tim (Coach Papa) is the kind of guy who does something for you because he genuinely wants to help. In fact, his whole life has been spent (in one way or another) being of service to others. From 22 years of military service to the hundreds of teams he has coached, events he has MCed and countless other ways he has given of his time and gifts to help make our world a better place.
Now he is at a time in his life where he needs our help. With his carotid surgery getting infected with strep, his bypass surgery put off for 6 weeks, multiple medications, at home care and 6 weeks of IV antibiotics, his life has been turned around. Let us gather together and show him just how much he means to all of us.
Over the last few months he has been showered in prayer. We truly believe that is why the events of the last few weeks happened the way they did (even if they seem crazy to us). The fact that his bypass surgery was canceled multiple times, is evidence of the power of prayer. The infection in his neck could have easily spread to his chest. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
Today, my siblings and I want to ask you to also consider helping our parents financially in this time of need. First, you must know that they would never ask for this help themselves. (Yes, that means the kids are going behind the parents' backs - shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone). The reality though is they need it, if only to take some of the stress off of their backs over the next few months.
If you find it in your heart to support our parents through this journey financially, please consider doing so. If you do not feel led to support financially, please keep them covered in prayer. They both need strength and stamina to make it through the road that lies ahead of them.
Thank you so much for considering.
Yes, sometimes people have done so much for us in life that we could never pay them back. And sometimes, you can find a way. May God bless you and keep you today and always!
