Prayer Pager

We have given Manda a pager and every time you pray for her, her husband Aaron or baby Aiden, please send her a page to let her know. When it beeps, don't put in your phone number, just type in something like 111 so she knows she was prayed for. (Make sure you press # key after you type in your numbers.) God is so big and we know he is in control. The number is 972-229-4207. God bless you and God bless Manda. We love you!

Manda's Story

On January 26, 2009, our sweet friend Manda gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Less than a week later, she was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer and has been on the painful journey ever since. Only two weeks after giving birth to Aiden, her leg was amputated and treatment was recommended in Houston, a few hundred miles from her home. Now, only months later, we are constantly praying for and supporting Manda and her family as they battle this disease together. The family has been commuting from the DFW area to Houston for Manda’s treatments at MD Anderson Hospital. The entire family has had to step up and take new roles as care givers, babysitters, healthcare advocates, and supporters. Despite so much pain and grief, Manda, her husband and their family have remained upbeat, optimistic, encouraged and faithful. Through fundraisers, donations, dinner, love, laughter, and most importantly prayers, we will all fight this battle for Manda’s victory.
