Tough End to the Year
It was right after this outing that I got stomped on and ended up in the hospital… again.
From a spiritual perspective, I think, it was hugely successful. We made inroads like we have not before, and I do not not think that the principalities and powers appreciated it much.
I lay here in the hospital bed and hope to be home soon so I can get back out and poke the bear some more.
This hospitalization has once again put us in the hole financially.
If you’ve thought about making a year-end donation, for whatever reason, we would be honored by your consideration. You would be helping our flourishing mission work AND our health needs.
Donating through this platform is safe, and easy.
We are ever grateful for your support this year in prayer, and generosity.
Now is the time to finish out the this year well.
Give a small amount, a large amount, or start a monthly recurring donation for 2026.
With much love,
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate
As many of you know, we've been through it this past 3+ years. Pain and discomfort, diagnosis, cancer detected, unbelievable insurance and medical bureaucracy to navigate, 4 surgeries, chemo, and last year's a 20 hour surgery which was supposed to be curative.
There have been many challenges in and around all of these to include physical, mental, spiritual, and financial. It's been a tough road.
We are thankful for all of you that have donated generously to keeping Miguel alive. We mean it. We have known more than a few here who have passed because they couldn't afford to pay for treatment etc.
Our current 'challenges,' are facing life-long chemo, gaining weight, building muscle, avoiding cachexia (wasting disease), autism induced by, or brought more to the surface by surgeries, chemo, and other treatments, and navigating life with 3-4 monthly appointments, travel, etc.
Miguel is able to keep his weight at its present level, but he fluctuates by 8-10 pounds twice a month and that's not exactly healthy. We are currently supplementing protein powder, but, it costs about a hundred and twenty bucks per container, and lasts only a month.
If you'd like to purchase 1 or 2 containers, use this platform towards that end, or contact us via Facebook messenger for other options.
Even with many donations, we are still accumulating debt. Simply put, we can use an influx of new donations. If you are able to make a recurring monthly donation, great. If you can donate one time, awesome! If you cannot donate but can share these updates, we appreciate it greatly.
In any case, this platform is trusted and secure and we've been using it for a lot of years. You can trust that your donation will get to us safely and in a timely manner.
We Love you all.
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate.
