Please read

Hello Everyone

I wanted to share some information about a family in our support group. Please go to http://laithdougherty.info/ and read about Laith. He is needing all the prayers he can get right now. I cant imagine how his parents are feeling right now, and to tell you the truth it saddens me to think that a parent would have to go through something like this.

Jason and I struggle with our own insurance issues, but nothing like this. This is just proof that the USA has a long way to go when it comes to health insurance. How can we let a child die just because his parents do not have the right kind of insurance? You may say...well there must be something they can get or do. They are looking into every possibility and will do anything. But when it is all said and done, they shouldnt have to be searching for ways to keep their child alive. They should be with him, holding him, loving him. They should spend their energy trying to give their son hope, not have hope taken away.

I can only hope they find a miracle before it is too late.

Thanks for reading and I hope all is well!
