About 2 months and we have already moved back to Owensboro. It took us moving to a big city to appreciate a small town.
While in Louisville, I found, on FB, a child with cancer. Through Tyler, I then "met" a great group of people who had started a crusade to provide items to put a smile on the children's faces by sending donated items to them via the mail. We communicated and my whole outlook on life changed. My fire was relit!! I started promoting my own non profit again all the while, continuing to improve our personal lives.
I met a gift from God. Her name is Catherine and without her this could not be happening. We have, in a few short weeks, arranged not 1 but 2 fundraisers to benefit children with cancer. We were planning what will be our annual fundraiser when we learned from church that there is a boy fighting brain cancer and the local doctors have done several procedures on him and the cancer has returned. His mother has been given pills for him and told there is nothing else they can do. Germany is the answer at a cost of $10,000. It came naturally. We both swung our heads towards each other and I started to cry. We had found our first child to help and we needed a benefit ASAP.
Within 1 week we had secured the local Sportscenter and booked 2 bands. Catherine has created the posters and tickets and we have started selling.
You know, all my problems can be cured. These children live everyday not knowing if it will be the last and without complaining. In fact, when Tyler was going into surgery today, there was another boy who the same surgeons were operating on and Tyler's was an emergency surgery and Tyler didn't hesitate to tell the doctors to operate on the other child he would wait........
God has blessed us with some of the most wonderful people we have ever met. We are living for a whole different purpose now and know we have found our calling and with that comes the most peace we have had in years...........
