Love Collection for one of our families
There will be a sign up at the Information Table if you would like to bring a meal for the Richardsons for their family of 3 on a Friday that we have PSHP classes. This can be frozen or ready to bake.
We will have a donation box set up at the Information Table for donations to the Richardson family. Angie, the mom of our PSHP student Ashlynn, has been diagnosed with liver cancer. She started treatments this week at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. She will have to receive all of her treatments in Houston each week, because it is a trial medicine. She will get a 2 hour treatment each Tuesday and a 6 hour treatment on Wednesday. They will be driving back and forth from Springfield to Houston each week.
We are collecting monetary donations, gas gift cards, and restaurant gift cards to bless this family this fall. Please pray for Angie, Ashlynn, and Roger. There is also a chili fundraiser on Saturday, November 3 that I will get more details for.
