A Simple Request

I have a simple request to ask of those that read my blog.

I have a friend that has three children the same ages as Erico and Elkin, a son that is 7 and a set of twins that are 5. The dad went in the hospital for a foot surgery a little before the holidays and a few days after, his wife noticed his foot looking little blue, so she scheduled him to see his Dr. immediately and his foot was in the beginning stages of gangrene. He has been in and out of the hospital for treatments and hopefully will not lose part of a toe. And to top it off, he contracted a staph infection from the hospital that he has to take additional medicines for!

And if this wasn't enough for the family, the mom found out three days before Christmas that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer! She had to wait until the beginning of this week to found out the results and has found that she will have to have the majority of one of her breast removed.

The most amazing part about this family is that through all of this and very harsh financial problems, their spirits have not been crushed. If a regular person spoke to them without having the knowledge of their situation, you would not even begin to imagine what they are facing. They are ALWAYS happy, they put their children's needs and happiness before their own. They are just a VERY remarkable family!

I ask this to those that are reading this blog post......... whether you pray or not, whether you believe in God or not, please say a prayer for this family or if you don't pray, please just send good Karma and positive thoughts their way so that they can continue to face these hard times with a positive outlook and that they have the strength to keep on fighting their fights with a positive outlook.

I know that this family will end these battles in victory, I just want to send positive vibes their way.

Thank you for taking a moment to read this post, I know that I have not posted in a while, I just felt this was Very Worth me taking a few minutes to ask this favor from you all!

Love,
Jodie
