Hi, Crossfire and family!
My name is Shannon Sundberg. I am a disabled mother of a beautiful baby boy Skylar, who is quite literally my world. He will be 1 years old on Halloween. His father is absent as he had severely abused me. He is very sick from an injury to his brain, from serving two tours in Afghanistan known as frontal temporal dementia.

I single handedly raise Skylar alone with the acception of all my prayers to God, to find the right and kind enough people who help with doctors appointments from time to time or other necessary errands. Things are slowly getting better and my support system is slowly getting better as well.

I write you all, in hopes to find a good Christian family to assist us. It has been brought to my attention today, that I am going to need surgery done on my spine. It is one of the many injuries I received from my sons dad. I do not know the full details of recovery time. But what I do know, is I had the MRI last night, they called today to refer me to neurosurgery and by next week they want me scheduled. With that said, I am at a loss for my son. If I do not receive the surgery, I could run the risk of paralysis. If I get the surgery, he has no one that can care for him. This is a horrible rock and a hard place.

I have sobbed at least a dozen times today. I have wailed and yelled. I have felt brief periods of hope and then, felt I was doomed. It wasn’t until I felt utterly defeated and just helpless, I told my friend, I would have to forfeit my job as a mom to some agency or be potentially, eventually paralyzed that I felt I had to accept this was Gods will and fate for us.

I screamed and sobbed for about another 10 minutes when my friend messaged not to give up on Gods Great Big plan and stop being so proud and ask for help. I guess this has all become a great big shock to me. But, He was right. I needed to reach out as he said, God works through others. I just needed to reach out for help. I can honestly say at that moment, I felt peaceful. I’ve heard it said something like Gods voice is subtle, but I couldn’t even hear the rain tapping on the roof or rushing down the drain pipe. There was no sound all. The rain has been pretty distinct and loud most of today. But, everything went still. The trees even completely stopped blowing-for sometime too! It was as if I was meant to notice. Like a little voice inside said, “I’ve been listening. Do you see that?”

I wanted to write you all and ask for your help. God has never once, in my life, failed to be there for me when I met him half-ways and called out to him! 😀

Please pray for my Brother-in-Law’s Brother, Dean. He has been sent to emergency in critical condition. He has been in the hospital before in a Catatonic State & almost died before. All the prayers brought him out of it & he has been doing really good. My Sister Cyndy & Brother-inLaw Jim were in Washington D.C. on vacation and had to cut it short and fly back. Please keep them in prayer too. Especially Jim because he has Power of Attorney for Dean & will have to make decisions! Thank you, Sherry Griffith

Please pray for Caleb in particular. Need medication coverage. OHP says we make too much and his meds cost $2,000 a month and we don’t have it.

Need medication coverage. Please pray for Caleb in particular. OHP tells us we make too much money for insurance. His medication is $2,000 a month and we don’t have it. We are a small business and the government gets 40% but OHP doesn’t look at that. They go by everything we make including what we pay them. – Michelle Selander

Break spirit of addiction for Isaac. – Gary Quimby
