Welcome to Brendan and Sarah’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportDear Friends and Family,
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It goes without saying that this year has been incredibly difficult for our family, with challenges we never thought we’d face. And yet we have so many things to be thankful for and have seen God’s hand so many times in this journey, that we are filled with gratitude. We are also thankful for all of you… our dear friends and family who have stood by us these past months and supported us in so many ways.
It’s hard to believe that a month has already passed since Brendan’s last, unexpected second surgery in Arizona. He continues to get stronger every day and make huge strides at his rehab program. Last week he did a “turkey trot”; it wasn’t a half-marathon or even a 5k (like he’s done in the past!) but a beautiful 1.5 mile hike overlooking the ocean. It’s the longest he’s walked in many months, and we were thrilled at how far he’s come.
We continue to settle into our new home, loving the area, and the much shorter commute to Brendan’s rehab. The girls have made some neighborhood friends and having the dogs with us now is a happy distraction for them. We were thrilled to have Brendan's youngest sister Chrissie visit from England earlier this month. It had been over 3 years since we last saw her! We had a great time reminiscing and making new memories!
We wanted to alert you all that Strong Tower Ministries continues to help process donations for our family’s support. I don’t know what we’d do without the generous gifts from so many that have covered medical expenses, rent, utilities, and food since our unexpected transition here this past spring. It’s humbling to be in the position of relying on others for our financial needs, but we look forward, expectantly and with great faith, that we will soon be on the other side, giving again instead of receiving. If I haven't thanked you personally yet, please know that each card, each donation, each prayer and encouraging comment are so appreciated!
Strong Tower has recently changed their platform for receiving donations. Please go to the following link where you can donate via credit card or Paypal. As before, all donations are tax-deductible.

With Blessings and Love,
