Our neighbor's--The Seibert's



As many of you know, we live in a neighborhood with many young families. The Seibert's, who live 2 houses down from us, have been here since we moved in. We quickly became friends, along with several other couples on our street. Although we don't have as much time to hang out and enjoy one another as we used too (kids, work, other obligations, etc.) they are wonderful people, with the most loving marriage, and amazing parents to a 2 year old son named Ethan.

In 2007, Christopher was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. The cancer has spread to his liver and is covering 50% of it. He has been recieving weekly chemotherapy treatments and is fighting this battle with everything he has. I am amazed at the strength and positive attitude of each of them, when it would be just as easy to crumble. They both work full-time jobs, and Christopher works 60+ hours a week AND is doing chemo treatments. They are needing assistance. Their financial resources are all tapped out--they need help--and a great way to help would be to make a donation. Any donation, no matter how large or small, would be of great help. If you only have $10 to donate and 200 people donated $10--this adds up to ALOT of money. They could also use prayers. Please pray that Christopher fights this cancer and that the cancer will shrink. Please also pray for them to continue with their incredibly positive attitude, they have to stay strong and beat this cancer once and for all.

Denise's friend Amber, set up a page for them, so people can donate. If you would like to read more abt them or their story-OR donate-click here. http://www.ourseibertfamily.com/

Christopher and Denise would never, ever ask for help, but I have read about their financial needs from a photographer we both use. Please consider helping them out, and please, please pray for them.
