the army
These prayer warriors and soldiers have fought for us and beside us while our family has been in the trenches. They have lifted our spirits and gave us hope when we were too tired to fight. They have prayed, called, text, emailed, and sat with us in the dark. They have fed our tummies and souls. They have made this fight worth fighting and each has given us enough light for the next step. We hope and pray this army will continue to grow and share light and hope amongst so many others who are fighting battles of all sizes.We believe that people are the key to surviving the toughest battles. Listed below is our ever growing army. #1 in our army is Mike's doctor, Dr. Vamsi Kota. He has led our family through the trenches with nothing but HOPE and LOVE. The army...Family, friends, our children, other's battling Leukemia and other cancers, caregivers, those who have lost loved ones, strangers, doctors, nurses, and on and on. We would not be where we are today if not for every single act of love poured on us through out this journey. We want to honor those who have cared for us and pay it forward to those who fight battles to come.
A small glimpse ,of the many pictures of hope, our army sent to us to remind us we are not alone. Please send us more pictures, we would love to share more.
