It’s been two and a half weeks since I put out a plea to all my blog readers, Twitter friends and Facebook peeps to help our friends beat foreclosure.
The plea was simple — can we get 450 people to donate $10 by Nov 1 to help them keep their house.

I was looking over the totals that have come in to help our friends beat foreclosure this week.
It’s encouraging to see.
Folks from 2 different countries, 5 different states, people that have never met my friends, are all pitching in to help in a time of need.
To help illustrate this, I put together a quick map highlighting the cities represented thus far.
UPDATE: I’ve updated the links to Paypal to help track the money coming in easier.
This morning, I sent out a cry for help via Twitter and Facebook ::
Close friend found out home will be foreclosed on Nov 1. Wonder if 450 peeps would donate $10 to cover their deficit…

Laurie’s shared a very open, honest post over on her blog – that I’d say is probably one of the most open an honest things I’ve seen her write. I’m so proud of her for writing it and sharing it.

Some of you may recall the prayer requests shared for Lanessa Allman last year (She’s Chris Allman’s sister-in-law and attended UMHB with us.)
Last year she was struck with encephalitis and several other complications after giving birth to her fourth son.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any updates on my cousin’s baby but we have some great news tonight that I wanted to be sure and share.
Tests show that the baby does have down syndrome but we’re still praying it will be a mild case. The baby is due in October and we’re praying that she continues to grow strong in healthy as she develops.
Also I received this update from my aunt tonight…
We have great news tonight!!! Amanda and Bryan (my cousin) went to see the specialist in Garland. He told them that the hygroma is resolving itself. PRAISE THE LORD! Ava’s heart is doing good and she is gaining weight. We have so much to be thankful for. God’s healing is continuing and He is not through yet. I have prayed that He will finish the good work He started in her from the beginning. He is doing just that. We still have a way to go on this journey, but God remains faithful. Keep them in your prayers and thoughts.
Giving GLORY to the Father who is in heaven!
Please keep Bryan, Amanda and Ava in your prayers. Thanks!
