If you’ve driven by our office at night, you may have noticed that our lights are orange. 🧡 We chose orange in recognition of Leukemia Awareness and to stand in support of those families who are walking through childhood cancer.
To hear the words, “Your child has cancer,” is something that rocks you to your core.
While I haven’t walked in the exact same shoes this mom is walking in, I have worn a very similar pair. One of my stepchildren was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at just 15 years old. I remember so clearly the fear that filled our home, the uncertainty of what was to come, and the faith we held onto through it all.
I remember the long drives to and from the hospital, trying to navigate our “new normal,” and learning how to take things one day at a time. I also remember someone handing us an envelope filled with gift cards and donations. Those simple acts of kindness helped our family in more ways than I could ever put into words.
I remember our small town coming together to support us and helping make the weight of childhood cancer just a little bit lighter.
That is why I’m asking, if you feel it in your heart to donate to this sweet family, please consider doing so. Any amount, no matter how big or small, can mean so much to a family going through something like this.
If you would rather donate another way, we will also have a collection at our office for this family.
Please keep this sweet family in your prayers as they navigate this difficult journey. Pray for strength, healing, comfort, and peace. Most of all, pray that they continue to hold tightly to their faith when the days feel overwhelming.
🧡 No family should have to face childhood cancer alone.
