Please pray for 2 more families with little ones in the NICU. The first baby, Kolten, was born at 35 weeks. This is the parents' third baby born prematurely so they are all too familiar with this. The second baby was born at 24 weeks at only a pound. These 2 babies are roommates in the NICU. Today, we sent them both VISA gift cards to help pay for expenses traveling back & forth as both families live quite far away from the hospital. Please keep these sweet little babies & their families in your thoughts & prayers!

We have several families to keep in your prayers!  We recently sent a gift card to a family of baby Blaire who was in the hospital with respiratory issues. We also sent a gift card to the family of baby Mallorie who was born with Down Syndrome & having some medical issues. What a sweetheart this precious baby is & this story holds a special place in our hearts :). We sent another gift card to a mother who is expecting quintuplets very soon. These babies will be in the hospital for quite some time when they are born due to having 5 at once!  We sent yet another gift card to the family of baby John. He was born at 25 weeks due to complications with the pregnancy. Baby John is currently fighting an infection. His parents have 3 children at home so they are juggling a lot at this time!  Please keep all these babies in your thoughts & prayers, as well as their families who are putting their lives on hold to be at the hospital with them. Thank you all for your continued support!

Today, we sent another prepaid VISA gift card to a family whose baby was born at 28 weeks, weighing just 2 lbs. 13 oz.  Baby Ellie is in the NICU and mom is staying at the Ronald McDonald House while dad is at home working.  We know how difficult this can be staying apart from your spouse to be with your baby!  Last we heard, Ellie was up to almost 5 lbs. and doing well!  Please pray for this sweet baby & her family during this difficult time!

Wow!  We have been so busy with R Angel!  We know that means there are lots of babies and kiddos in the hospital, but we are happy that people are contacting us & connecting us with them.  We haven't had the chance to make any baskets lately, but have been sending lots of gift cards.  Recently, we sent a gift card to the family of a new baby, Graham, born around 24 weeks gestation due to complications with the pregnancy.   Last we heard, he was doing well, but still had a long way to go.

We also sent a gift card to the family of another little baby born around 29 weeks gestation.  Baby Miles' family lives quite far away from the hospital, so we thought a gift card could help pay for gas, etc. while they were traveling to and from the hospital.

We also have a young boy from our church, Johnothen, that was recently hospitalized.  We sent his family a gift card as well to help pay for some of the expenses they would incur while he was in the hospital.

Please keep these sweet children and their families in your prayers each day!  Thank you again for your support!

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all having a blessed new year!  I just realized that I never posted about a sweet little boy that we sent an R Angel gift card to a while back.  His name is Ledger & he was admitted to the hospital when he was 5 months old for meningitis, which led to many complications.  He is home now & doing well, but still has a long road ahead of him.  We know miracles can happen, so please pray for Ledger and his family and for a full recovery! 

Also, THANK YOU so much to all those that continue to support R Angel through their time, prayers, financial gifts, etc.  We appreciate you all more than you know & we are able to continue to help families with children in the hospital because of you!  God bless!

I feel like I'm so far behind with some of these prayer requests, but I guess it's never too late for prayers!  A few weeks ago, we sent a prepaid VISA gift card to a family whose little boy was also born with Congenital CMV (cytomegalovirus), just like our son, Benzen.  His name is Liam.  He has been receiving outpatient treatment, but has recently begun an intensive inpatient treatment program to improve his communication and to get him to eat orally instead of through a tube.  Please pray for this sweet boy & his family as they are torn apart during this treatment (mom is staying with Liam while dad is home).

We also sent a prepaid VISA gift card to a family here in Toledo, who also had a sick child, but I am not sure of the name.  Please keep this Toledo family in your prayers as I'm sure they can still use them!

Today, we sent another prepaid VISA gift card to a family of a little boy, Lane, who had surgery for a tethered cord at Cleveland Clinic.  This family is from around here, so being in Cleveland for this surgery has to be very difficult!  Please keep this family in your prayers during this difficult time!

Thanks for all your support & prayers!  We appreciate it more than you know!  Please remember this Christmas season that many babies/kids are going to be spending Christmas in the hospital, and their families will be with them.  Please keep them all in your prayers over the next few weeks :)
