When we ask
for your support it is usually so that we can help our homeless veterans return
to self-sufficiency but today it’s one of our own, who serves our veterans each
day, in need of help.
Lindsey
Bennett, Coordinator of Special Needs at HVAF's Warman property, gave birth to her daughter, Skylar, on March 17. Skylar was born with a
serious, life-threatening congenital heart defect. Lindsey has created a blog, http://skylarsheartblog.com/ to provide updates for family and friends. She has also created a separate fundraising
page for contributions as they raise money for medical expenses and needs. If
you would like to help the Bennett family you can contribute by going to her fundraising
page.
Skylar’s
heart defect requires 3 life-saving surgeries: one at 1 week old, one around 6
months, and one between the ages of 2 and 3. She will spend up to 6 weeks in
the hospital with her while she recovers from the first surgery. Lindsey tells
us the time between the first and second surgeries is the most precarious
because any sicknesses or infections could be fatal.
Lindsey
has and will continue to serve our homeless veterans well. Please keep her
family and baby in your prayers. She has 3 other children at home.
