THE MCPHERSON HOME PROJECT

About this sermon

Meet the McPherson Family! Josh, Sharon and their four kids live in Wenatchee, WA where Josh is a full time pastor at the church he helped plant seven years ago. As if planting a church isn't hard enough work, Josh and Sharon have some very unique circumstances in their life. They are parents to TWO kids with Spina Bifida and just last year Sharon suffered a heart attack due to a defect in her heart. You wouldn't know it by talking with them but that makes for a LOT of challenges! Anyone who knows this family knows they are an amazing family. They love and serve people and are known for their hard work and generosity. The McPherson's are a family of 6. Josh, Sharon, Ella Mae, Levi, Amelia and Gideon. Ella Mae and Gideon, both have Spina Bifida. Raising a single child with Spina Bifida can be challenging. Raising two is more than a full time job for any parent. They've made over 100 trips to Childrens Hospital in Seattle in the last 7 years...a 3 hour drive from their home. Because of Sharon's heart attack last year she now has a high-tech defibrillator installed to hopefully keep her from having another heart attack. The medical bills have been immense due to countless surgeries and Sharon's heart issues. If you couple the care required to raise their wonderful kids with Sharon having a heart problem, you begin to see the unique challenges they face on a daily basis and why they need financial help with getting into a home that works for their situation. We really want to see the McPherson's get a new home! Their current home simply doesn't work to raise two handicapped kids. It has steep driveways, stairs, high counters and small hallways in a small floor-plan. That makes a challenging situation even more challenging! They need a home designed for children in walkers. Bathrooms that are large enough to get a wheelchair into. A home with features designed for handicapped kids and a property that is flat. These things will help Ella and Gideon have a new found freedom in their home. We can do this!! Lets help the McPhersons! Please help us raise the money to give Ella and Gideon a home they can flourish in. By God's grace we'd love to see this family in a new home by Christmas. Thanks in advance for financial support, prayer and spreading the word!! *Please note donations are not tax deductible. youcaring.com/mcphersonhome
