One of my all time best friends, Becky, sent the note below via email. Becky lives in Texas, her son is Brian in the story below. Please pray and fulfill the request for the boy Becky writes about.
Just a few minutes of your time will make a huge difference in this boys life. I know this because all the cards, thoughts, emails and etc. made a huge difference in my recovery. I believe Bek knows this because she sent me a text message EVERY day since she found out I had cancer. She continues to do so now. The idea someone out there is thinking of you and takes time to let you know is comforting. All the time she was lifting me, her father lay in a hospital dying of cancer himself. Becky, you're an amazing angel on earth!
Keep in mind, Bek is a mother of three and her husband travels most days of the week. Her youngest is just over a year. Knowing this, it's hard to say...we don't have time. Imagine your SEVEN year old going up against the big "C".
Here's her request:
HI Everyone-
Brian Jr's best friend Joe has a cousin ZACH who is 7
years old. A few weeks ago at baseball camp he got hit
in the groin with a baseball a few weeks later the
swelling never went away and they had him checked by
the dr. Long story short he has testicular cancer-
this was a true act of divine intervention as the Dr
said they would have likely never found it until it
was too late. Today they found a lump in his neck and
so they are sending him into surgery.
He is struggling with chemo and could use some
cheering on. If you have a chance could you drop him a
card or note or something funny- even a photo of you
or your dog or hermit crabs etc just for fun. His aunt
is trying to see how many different places they can
collect cards from and keep them all in a scrap book
you can put on the bottom of the note friend of Brian
Hand so that he knows where its all coming from and if
you can pass this on I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks,
Becky
