We recently sent a prepaid visa to a family of a child with Down syndrome. I don't know much more about this child, only that they will be in the hospital for several weeks/months. Please keep this family in your prayers!

Well, we are actually in the NICU at Toledo Children's Hospital ourselves. We had a baby boy, Benzen, one week ago & he has CMV so we have to stay here for 6 weeks to give him an IV medication. Anyways, I bought an R Angel gift card for a family staying in the NICU with their son who was born at 31 weeks gestation. I hadn't had a chance to send it with all that we've had going on so today, I walked it down to their room :) Please keep baby Noah in your thoughts and prayers as he grows big & strong! Hopefully, they get to go home soon!

Today, we sent a prepaid VISA to a family whose son, Matthew, has a tumor on his spine.  He is in a lot of pain and has been traveling back and forth to The Cleveland Clinic to get treatment.  We hope this small gift card will help with some of their travel expenses.  Please pray for Matthew and his pain, as well as his family as they all go through this difficult time!

SACC Helps Out R Angel

Last Saturday, students from Swanton Area Community Coalition joined together to help make baskets and deliver food to the Toledo Children's Hospital for families staying there with their children.  They put together several baskets with bathroom supplies and stocked the waiting room with snacks and goodies for families to eat.  Thanks so much for all your help!

Sydnie's Project

Recently, our niece Sydnie completed a project for her 2nd grade class. Her teacher gave each student $5 and told each student to make a difference with that $5 however they wanted. Well, Sydnie decided to raise money for R Angel. She turned the $5 bill into change, then went around door-to-door and asked people if they had any spare change to make a "change" in the world. She told our story over and over & even made a cute little poster that she carried around. It amazes us how generous people are & how much money she raised by just asking for spare change. She ended up raising over $550, which was the most anyone in her teacher's class had ever done in 3 years! Thank you Sydnie for all your hard work & thank you everyone for all the donations! Many lives will be touched because of you all :)

Today, we sent a prepaid VISA to a family whose little boy, Reed, was in the hospital. We are a little late sending it & he is already home, which is wonderful news! We still wanted to send them something b/c we know he may have follow-up appointments & medical bills coming so we hope this giftcard will help in a small way :). Please keep Reed & his family in your prayers!

Today, we delivered an R Angel gift card to some friends of ours who recently had twins, William and Isabelle. They were born at 32 weeks and will be spending some time in the NICU. They have already gotten their IVs out and are breathing on their own. They are just working hard to learn how to eat on their own now :) They have a big sister at home so it has been very difficult for their parents to divide their time & go back and forth from the hospital to their home/ Ronald McDonald house. We hope this prepaid VISA will help them out in some small way! Please keep William, Isabelle, and their family in your prayers!
