Honestly I have hesitated in creating this GoFundMe – I don’t want any focus to be on the money. Yes, there are going to be some big expenses coming up soon. I know God will provide for me and my family. I want Him to get all the glory!
More and more people are asking how they can help with medical expenses. GoFundMe appears to me to be the easiest and most transparent way to set up and collect money to be used to pay for our anticipated medical expenses that I know at this time. This is just an estimate based upon our Aetna insurance deductible and out of pocket maximums.
At this time the intention of this GoFundMe is to provide a way to help with medical expenses. We will have other expenses related to our transition, but those are less clear at this time and I cannot begin to estimate an amount for that. If we get more clarity, we may set up something separate for our transition to the USA. It’s hard because we do not know how long we will be in the USA – 6 months? A year? Longer? This is in the Lord’s hands – and I trust him completely.

Again, I want to say how much your prayers and encourage have meant to our family through such a difficult and stressful situation. God has me tightly in His arms!
