I would like to ask for your prayers for Abner, a boy in 8th grade, who has been diagnosed with leukemia.<\/p>\n

Please pray for Abner\u2019s complete cure, minimal side effects from treatment, and restored regulation of his glucose. <\/p>\n

For his mother, Tsega and father Michael, for infinite strength and confidence in the goodness of the Lord and protection of Tsega\u2019s health and the Lord\u2019s care for the basic needs of the family while Tsega is unable to do all she normally would. <\/p>\n

Tsega has not been able to go to work since Abner\u2019s hospitalization on November 12th, and her job does not have any appreciable sick leave benefits, so if she doesn\u2019t work, she doesn\u2019t get paid.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Abner\u2019s soccer team has created a GoFund Me account for their family. If you are able, please consider making a contribution to their family here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Above all, please keep Abner and all of his family in your daily prayers!<\/p>\n

Thank you!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
