Help Karin and Heather Stand Tall Again

Dear friends, family, and fellow believers,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my remarkable mother-in-law, Karin, and her daughter Heather. Both of them are living testimonies of perseverance and faith in the Lord as they walk through the challenges of scoliosis. Their journey has been filled with physical pain and trials, yet their unwavering trust in God’s sovereignty and goodness has been an inspiration to all who know them.

Karin has lived with severe scoliosis her entire life. Her spine has two significant curves—41 degrees on the top and 47 degrees on the bottom—causing debilitating pain and making even simple tasks a daily struggle. Despite this, Karin has held fast to her faith, trusting that God has a purpose even in her suffering. Her deepest longing is not just for healing but to glorify God through her life. She dreams of walking without a cane, playing with her grandchildren, and worshiping alongside the saints at church every week—all as a testament to God’s grace in her life.

Heather, Karin’s daughter, also has scoliosis, though her condition is less severe because of her younger age. With timely intervention, her spine could be completely corrected, sparing her from the lifelong struggles her mother has faced. Karin’s faith has deeply influenced Heather, who has grown up seeing her mother’s steadfast trust in God despite pain and limitations.

Now, God has opened a door of hope for both Karin and Heather. A doctor at the Scoliosis Reduction Center in Florida specializes in innovative treatments that could reduce Karin’s spinal curves by 30%, significantly reducing her pain, and do the same for Heather’s spine. This is an answer to years of prayer and a tangible reminder of God’s faithfulness.

However, this opportunity comes with financial challenges. The cost of treatment, travel, and related expenses is more than our family can manage alone. Yet, we know that the Lord is our provider, and we are trusting Him to work through the kindness and generosity of His people.

We humbly ask for your support through donations, words of encouragement, and prayer. Every contribution brings Karin and Heather closer to a brighter future—one filled with less pain, greater mobility, and a renewed opportunity to serve and glorify the Lord in all they do.

Karin often reminds us of Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” We are trusting in this promise as we move forward in faith.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and encouragement. May the Lord richly bless you for your kindness.
