Friday Funding Update:
November 11, 2016

In just 40 days of fundraising, we have raised $17,056.85! Our hearts are full of gratitude and love to everyone who has given! God is using you to accomplish great things! After a challenging day yesterday, I was watching Josiah fall asleep. All I could think was, "This is going to happen, sweet boy!" He has no idea about this outpouring of love for him, but he will be reaping the benefits very soon. I cannot wait to see how God is going to use this therapy room and therapy pool in his life. We are so hopeful! And hope is such a precious gift! 

Because of your incredible generosity, we now have enough funds to complete Phase 1 of our project! We are in the planning phase now!!! It is so exciting to not just dream about the possibilities, but to actually be planning. 

After starting our fundraiser, we were informed about a service through Josiah's waiver that we could petition for. This service would greatly enhance our plans for his therapy room if we are approved. It takes a tremendous amount of work to petition for services, but it is so important that we try. Because we are submitting this petition, construction will not begin on the carport for another couple months. But this delay will be worth it for the potential long term benefits to Josiah. We need your prayers! This petition feels like a long shot at times, but we know that God is able to have this approved. And we are trusting His plan no matter what! It is a comfort to know that the therapy room is GOING to happen because of your generosity. This petition may just add some serious "bells and whistles" that would be a tremendous help in caring for Josiah and in keeping him safe. Please pray for us as we complete the tedious task of submitting all of the paperwork. 

I cannot believe how far we have come! We know that, with God's help and your efforts, we can reach our goal of $60,000! Please continue to share our story with others, and ask them to consider giving to help Josiah! 

Because of HIS GREAT GRACE,

Christy
