Biggest Need

MONEY

It's not glamorous. It's not pretty. It's not fun. It's not creative. It's not ingenious. It's not smart. It's not comical.

It is endearing. It is powerful. It is helpful. It is necessary. It is provision. It is humbling. It is impactful. It is peace-providing.

You have two ways you can give: YouCaring & PayPal

Reaching Out & Checking In

Hello Team Dempsey fans.

I know it's been awhile since I've touched base. The last entry accidentally ended up on Sawyer's blog instead of Dempsey's... a clear sign of a frazzled mom at that time.

Anyway, here are some updates:

NEEDS
  • Financial support as our insurance changes (we are running low on funds to cover the high deductible we're facing)
    PayPal || YouCaring
  • Ideas/ ways/ a team to help with fundraising
    I would LOVE to try an Instagram auction but fear I am not efficient enough on my own with all that I have going on right now.
  • Laundry detergent (on our Amazon list)
  • **Epsom salt and Baking soda (on our Amazon list)

PRAISES
  • Dempsey's counts are excellent. All his numbers are right where the docs want them.
  • We only go to CHOC for the mandatory once-a-month appointments/ infusions or procedures.
  • Still no negative side effects. Praise God!
  • He continues to THRIVE through treatment- turning heads wherever he goes.
  • School is going well... and by "school" I mean his Friday Core Class at Called2Home.
  • Soccer with YouthKicks is going well. This is such a wonderful outlet for all Dempsey's energy and competitiveness.
  • Your prayers are being answered... our son is a living, breathing MIRACLE and we have God and you to thank for that.

PRAYER REQUESTS
  • Pray against negative side effects
  • Pray for open doors/ opportunities
  • Pray for strength
  • Pray for peace
  • Pray for PTSD to disappear
  • Pray for joy
  • Pray for right perspectives
  • Pray for community
  • Pray for open and clear communication
  • Pray for Sawyer's heart- being a cancer sibling is hard
  • Pray for Dempsey's heart- this journey is complicated
  • Pray that we always seek the Lord's guidance and lean into him, hard
  • Pray that we bring God honor and glory through all that we do
  • Pray that we lean into each other and grow tighter as a family
  • Pray that we stand firm and are not shaken or bullied into things we know to not be right for us
  • Pray that we can help others through our journey
  • Pray that people find hope in Dempsey's story
  • Pray that Dempsey's journey/ treatment remains smooth and effective
  • Pray protection over his organs
  • Pray protection over his whole body
  • Pray supernatural protection over his future
  • Pray for a deep resolve to live a healthy lifestyle... for all of us
  • Pray as the Spirit leads you
