Pray for Genesis


Genesis is the nephew of one of my mom's friends. He's five and was diagnosed with Stage IV Embryonal Parameningeal Rhabdomyosarcoma with METS to the lungs. He's doing well considering, but please remember to pray for him and other children with Rhabdo. I was reading his CaringBridge Journal and the story of a little girl was so sweet that I wanted to share it.
"I continue to be humbled and so grateful for the love and support we are receiving from so many wonderful people. I am especially amazed by the support from people we do not even know. Last week, after we had had a long day at clinic with his chemo and blood transfusion, we came home to find a great surprise in the mail. A 6 year old girl who is the daughter of a friend of my sister, Maria, had just had her 6th birthday party. Instead of presents, she had decided to ask for donations for Genesis. She has never met him but was willing to give up her presents to help him out. This was beautiful for so many reasons and was uplifting to both of us. This is just one example of the generosity of many around us. It is hard to put into words how incredibly thankful we are for each thoughtful act of kindness."
