Fundraiser for Philip

I received this information from one of our readers, please keep this family in your prayers:

Philip turned 19 on Sunday (4/19). He has been dealing with live threatening medical situations his entire life. He started having seizures as an infant including suffering a stroke. He has had 17 brain operations, more than 25 orthopedic operations, suffers from slit ventricle syndrome, and has multiple shunts, as well as seizures and chronic headaches that are part of his daily life. Next month, he is having yet another operation. This is a very serious operation that could have him having less mobility or even cost him his life. However, not doing the operation will just about guarantee one of these things happening.

They have 3 other children in their family along with Mom and Dad and Mom (Amy) was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas this past year. The family just doesn't have the resources to cover the medical bills at this moment.

How can you help? Along with your prayers, a wonderful lady named Brandy has offered to throw an online fundraising party with all the proceeds going toward Philip's medical bills. The fundraiser is for some absolutely wonderful wickless candles called Scentsy. The profit from your purchases will help pay Philip's medical bills. If you would simply like to make a donation, there is also a PayPal medical donation fund set up as well.

The online charity party is officially over the last Wednesday of April so its a great time to order Mother's Day, End of School year presents, birthday, etc.
