Good Morning to all! It has been very busy since the last post.

Our car wash brought in $1682 and Chili's was a success as well at $1768.20 with our 10% being $176.82. They welcomed us back anytime.

Many of you came out to support Paula at the car wash and also went and ate at Chili's to help out as well. It was wonderful to see so much support and Paula was excited to hear the report. We appreciated seeing so many of you and hearing your kind words and many blessings. With your help we exceeded our expectations and want to say, "THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH". We will keep you informed of the next event.

ONTO PAULA NEWS....She has struggled a bit lately and so now we are asking of your help with her personally.... We are looking to see if anyone is interested in maybe helping out during the week or even on the weekends so we may allow her parents to spend a bit more time at home to relax instead of in the hard hospital chairs. If you can help with even just a couple of hours that would be wonderful. She is still going to dialysis 3x a week and also now has a goal to get up and walk 4x a day so it is going to be hard for her, but we have faith she can do it with our help. Also after speaking to her yesterday she has agreed visitors would be good. Sometimes it seems when you are ill it is hard to want to have guests, but for Paula maybe we could enlighten her spirits with positivity through visitors. Continue to send her ecards through Baptist's website as we have made a HUGE HEART in her window with them and also just any words of encouragement would be wonderful. If you are interested in helping out please call me 405-831-5320 as we have a schedule we would love to pencil you into.

Next is a challenge. We would like to get a prayer chain going so Paula is the topic of prayer all around Norman and then hopefully Oklahoma and onto nationwide. She needs every prayer she can get to help her fight against this ugly disease. We know a liver is the only way she can fully recover, but with God and faith being the stronghold all things are possible. She is a very fortunate lady to have such love and support from ALL of her family and friends. She is truly a blessing from God and is thankful for each and every day she has here to spend with us.

Once again, THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!

Rachele.
