Osteros Family

I'm writing this post to request prayers and, if you're able to, financial support.

Many of you already know about my friend, Rebekah. She was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. She is 28 and has a husband and 3 kids and no insurance. She has already had a couple of surgeries and is scheduled for another surgery tomorrow morning. She has also had MANY tests done. So far, the surgeries seem to be working but she still has a long way to go and the medical bills are piling up. The church has blessed her tremendously helping with medical bills, regular bills, food, you name it! However, the money quickly runs out. To add to this, she just informed me that their 12 year old nephew was in a bad, and dangerous, situation at home so they have taken him in.

Bekah is a very generous and giving person. Since my foot surgery, she has kept our freezer COMPLETELY STOCKED with food... for us. This is a time that the church can give back to her, in whatever way you're able to. It has been a true blessing to see the church step up in this situation - congregations from all over the nation have been stepping up to help. She told me today that she got some help from Alaska!

Anyway, we can all certainly help by keeping her and her family in our prayers. If you're willing and able to help out financially, I can get you the information needed to make sure it gets to her. Thank you!

Here is Bekah with her husband, Beau, and their three kids:


I just had to add this picture too because it cracks me up! See? They really DO have their hands full! ;-)
