Reuwer Family Update: Water Challenge! WE NEED YOU!!!

Let me start with saying I am absolutely blown away by strangers generosity and kind emails. We had a week of great Generosity being poured out on our family, in both encouragement and finances! Thank you for sharing. These fundraisers are always such a challenge for me, asking for help is a Challenge for us all isn't it? We do so much in life and often don't stop to see the availability of others asking to help, reaching out hands to help, willing to lift the load in whatever way they can and I am constantly amazzed when we allow others to pray for us and bring HELP to us, what great strength comes to our whole family!

Sooooo this week I would love to invite you in yet again to HELP in a fun way!! Last year, you all will remember the ALS Ice bucket Challenge, what a powerful movement and incredible way to spread a message an help others become aware of this life altering disease. I was moved over and over again by peoples desire to support and share.  Phoenix is OBSESSSED with those videos to this day! Espiecially ones that are with kids doing it! He loves the creative ones, silly ones, serious ones, all of them, he will watch over and over again and laugh and want to share with others.




We live in a day, where we Scroll through texts, emails, newfeeds and videos and FORGET that we need to STOP and WATCH< READ! I am guilty of the fast paced movement, however I will say a STORY of life, Adventure, Medical, Fight, Funny they Grab me and I remind myself to Listen and watch, because people and life matter more than my to do's. 

All of this to say, I know it would be so FUN to blow up peoples Newfeeds, texts, emails with Fun videos telling the Story of Phoenix and Spreading his Joyous laughter! Watch this video and SEND ME YOUR VIDEOS or Post them! You and or your kids can Say something nice to Phoenix or something about why you are doing it, spreading his story and I will montage them in the days ahead too! These will be such a gift to his heart as he recovers from the surgery! Date is August 26th! WE NEED YOU TO TAKE THE 2 Minutes, fill a bucket, get creative and dump it over your head, for a GREAT BOY with a GREAT JOURNEY AHEAD! OPERATION: Phoenix is going strong!

Love to you all!

Reuwer Family Update!



Week #1 of Operation:Phoenix, was a GREAT success! Thank you to all of you who have Shared Phoenix's story and have given and encouraged others to give! I am trying to do a VLOG {video blog post} weekly while I can stay on top of it! We are in the midst of securing the Home we will be staying in for the "recovery" week. That will be our second week in Boston area, when we will all be together as a family and giving Phoenix time to recover with us all together. He will then have a follow up appointment and hopefully we'll be released to return home. Here's the update! And thank you for sharing and journeying with us! Here's the link you can share and/ or donate at: Operation: Phoenix

SO Much Love!
