PRAY FOR A MIRACLE

It isn’t often that I pray for a miracle. Praying for a miracle is not just about hope but it is about necessity. I am inviting you to pray for a miracle for a friend and Board Member of Proyecto Juan Diego, Andrea Gallegos.

Andrea and her four children live is a small home two blocks from Proyecto Juan Diego. She and her family have made it through many trials with hope. Two years ago Sister Phylis befriended the family when they were in need of help. Joe, Andrea’s husband, had stomach cancer and his insurance was no longer covering his chemotherapy treatments. Sadly, he became an example of what has happened to so many hard working people whose health insurance is inadequate. Sister Phylis walked with Joe, Andrea and the children to his death in 2007. Andrea took over Joe’s job at a trucking company and worked tirelessly to support her family: Vanessa a Senior in high school, Jose Luis and Jose Guadalupe also in high school and the youngest, Victoria in 5^th grade.

This past weekend Andrea called Sister Phylis saying that she had a fracture in her spine and also a tumor on it. We haveThe doctors are not giving Andrea hopeful news…they think it may be cancer. Please pray that Andrea is not diagnosed with cancer. Her children need her; they are desperately worried that they will lose their mother to the same disease that so recently took their father from them.

We believe in the power of prayer…let’s put that to action.

Watch “Who would Jesus deny?” to learn more about the trials the family has already been through. It will play on MSN Video the left hand side of the screen after the commercial.
