Please Pray

Our family is asking you to pray for DJ's sweet cousin Emily White. Emily is only 8 years old and this summer they found a small tumor on her neck. It's been months of doctors visits, and finally 2 weeks ago they removed the tumor. Unfortunately, the news was not what we wanted to hear. Cancer. Acinic Cell Carcinoma.

In the coming weeks they will do surgery to remove the remaining tissue around the tumor. There is no chemo treatments available due to the rarity of this kind of cancer. They can do radiation but our prayer is that is not needed. Matt & Diane haven't told Emily or their boys about her condition, but would like to spread the word so people can be praying for her and their family.

Cancer has hit our family hard over the past few months. Both of our grandmothers, my dad, and now Emily. As much as I HATE cancer, I do know that God can heal her. We are asking that He fully heals her. We know that through Christ all things are possible.
