Ft. Bragg, NC

My name is Melissa and my husband Curtis is in the Army
stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. He was sent home from his 3rd
 deployment to Iraq because our 2-year-old daughter is 
disabled and in very poor health, and his presence is needed 
to help care for her extensive medical needs. She has cerebral
palsy, a language processing disorder that prevents her from 
speaking, sensory processing disorder, dyspraxia, plagiocephaly,
and she cannot eat by mouth and must be fed through a feeding 
tube in her stomach. These conditions have left her malnourished
and in need of extensive physical, occupational, and speech 
therapy several days each week. 

We spent the last of our savings on a vehicle to get him to and 
from work, and to get our daughter to her medical appointments 
each week. Last week, the engine quit running and we are told it 
needs replacement. We are desperately in need of an engine for this 
2000 Blazer so he can not only make it to and from work, but also 
take our daughter to her medical appointments. We would appreciate
any help we can receive. If an engine is not feasible, a used car 
would be appreciated just as much! We believe that the Lord will 
provide for our family, and we are hoping He will use this 
organization and those of you out there reading this to do that. 
Thank you very much for considering our family, and God bless you!
