Light in the D

My daughter Faith and her friends have a chromosome condition called Trisomy 18. These children are labeled as "incompatible with life" however we have been able to demonstrate at the University of Michigan that these children can live with proper care. These children are a testament to love, and they teach the world about compassion. We want to help more families experience this blessing. I have been sharing that we are working with Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan to start a Trisomy Clinic to not only help more Michigan children, but we will drive a new narrative across this nation and worldwide. Trisomy children are valuable and will live with proper care. We need YOUR help TODAY to make it happen. The overall goal is $350,000 to get our Clinic started. PLEASE would you consider making a generous donation today! Check out the link for more information and to make your donation... https://lnkd.in/gnhSrubJ Checks can be made out to the “Regents of the University of Michigan”. Please include Trisomy 13/18 Clinic (395185) on the memo line or on a separate note. You can mail the check to Jen's attention, and she will ensure it is added to the correct fund.

In the latest episode of Light in the D, I engage in a conversation with my friend and brother in Christ, Gary Abud, who was diagnosed with Keratoconus at age 10 - an eye disease that affects the structure of the cornea. Gary candidly shares how this disease shaped his life up to his early 20s, including his journey through college, and how a life-changing organ donation granted him sight after years of severely blurred eyesight. We delve into the profound impact this experience had on his faith and the touching story of the donor's mother, whose son's corneas gave Gary the gift of sight. We also touch on and address the controversies around organ donation. #organdonors #organtransplant #faith #healing #eyedisease https://lnkd.in/gfQa2JuG
