Hi I am Jamie and I started this fundraiser to bless and support our friends, the Dougherty family. As many of you may know, their 5 year old son had to be hospitalized for 11 days in the big city 1.5 hours away from where they live in Guatemala. He had a bad infection, and once they arrived at the hospital they discovered his appendix had exploded and the infection had gone septic. He then underwent an emergency appendix removal surgery and had to be in the ICU for 3 nights as his body (with the help of antibiotics) fought off the infection. He is now able to continue recovering at home and is being closely monitored. God is healing him and He will continue to provide. This whole ordeal has been very costly and I wanted to make the need known and invite you to be a part of what God is doing in and through this amazing family and to watch how God miraculously provides for them. He has called them to serve Him in Guatemala and He will make a way!
