(Palate Repair, ENT Procedure and Possible Tubes, Surgical Repair of Scars on One Finger)

ESTHER MARIE

Esther Marie was born with the birth defect of cleft lip and palate. Her bi-lateral cleft lip was repaired while she was in China. Her palate is still open and needs to be closed soon so she can eat solid food properly and develop her speech. Therefore, we are raising money for Esther Marie's surgery to cover the expenses that our insurance will not. We will add to the surgery fund in whatever ways we can...car washes, yard sales, eBay sales, donations, etc. Many thanks to those who have already lovingly contributed!! If you feel led by God to help in any way, please contact us or donate using the PayPal link above. You do not need a PayPal account. God is Awesome and He will provide for his little lamb! We trust in Him! (4everinourhearts@gmail.com)
