Family...

 

Kyle's big brother Sean really struggles, but is so loving and helpful. We couldn't do this without him. Sean was very disappointed to hear that he was not a match for Kyle, but needs to know that he is wonderful too, for wanting to participate in saving his brother's life.

My wonderful, loving husband Jerry has been priceless in his support. He has been my spiritual rock and my constant source for strength. He continues to keep us looking toward Heaven for our answers and comfort. God has blessed our relationship by teaching us His unconditional love for each other and for our children. Jerry is a loving, encouraging, and Godly father figure to both Sean and Kyle. He adores the boys and they whole-heartedly return the adoration.

My Aunt Joyce and the folks at Washington Mutual Bank have spread the word in-house from her local branch, all the way to the Oregon branches! The WAMU employees have been just astounding in their outpour of support! I couldn't think of a better bunch of caring people to handle your money! I'm switching banks, how about you? Oh, and they also have something called "Wamoola" - points you can earn for the local school of your choice! So, we are able to return the support from Kyle's school.

My Dad (Dave - Ampa) continues to stand by ready at the drop of a hat, fully loaded with another "Jackamaroni & Spaghetti O" story, to make Kyle and Sean giggle.

My Aunt Michelle brought Kyle some really cool jammies and Legos and continues to be there for Sean whenever he needs/wants a break from it all.

Great Grandmas and Grandpas Jackson and Sheehan your forever constant loving presence is always with us and we love you for that. Your prayers are always a comfort to us.

Grammy Sandy and Grandpa Jerry are battling right along side Kyle, as Grammy is currently still on chemo for a relapse too! She offers hope to Kyle again as she shares her new hair growth as a light in the tunnel.

The Jackson's, as always, loyal and with us every step of the way; they continue to spread the word far and wide through the Bible belt and are starting up tons of prayer chains. Mimi always sends dollars in her cards and Kyle squeals (yes squeals) with excitement every time they fall out!

Holly (my ex sister in law, which we have shortened to "Sis") has been my confidant and best friend. Holly has done the difficult and time consuming leg work of finding a donation place for everyone in their Southern region. She is a positive and witty Christian sister and always has an encouraging verse right when I need it. She also has her own story to tell "Holly's Heart" and is herself a miracle in Christ! Her and the zany group of wonderful ladies at ORNL are just priceless! Their donations, picture books, & mail have always been in divine timing! Thanks Gals!!!

 

Volunteers & Our Internet Friends are too numorous to list, but each is so amazingly supportive and have been nothing short of a God Sent to us!!! You have filled every gap, uplifted every sag & I could never tell you how special you are to me!!

Friends...

 

 

Marshall Elementary School in Fort Ord (Kyle's school) has been soooo cooperative! Mr. Steve Rossen (Kyle's principal) and Ms. Gayle Jacobs (Kyle's 1st grade teacher) have both been so very gracious. They have agreed whole-heartedly to work with the UCSF School and its accredited teachers to keep Kyle moving forward through 1st grade! Ms. Jacobs and Kyle's classmates in Room 8 have sent beautiful letters, even a wonderful tape of songs, hellos, and even jokes! One of Kyle's classmates Savannah along with her little sister Audry and mom Shannon surprised us and took Sean and Kyle to the zoo with them and gave me some much needed break (down) time.

 

The Broleens - Frank, Shelly, Johnny, and Tiffany. Our most generous neighbors...My goodness what would we do without you? They are feeding and caring for our zoo in our absence! They are watching our house and walking Ms. Freya girl! So much they are doing for us selflessly...we love you, thank you! We feel so very blessed.

 

Ms Kayt Green - Porter Youth Center is ever-ready to jump in wherever needed. She is my shoulder I cry on. She has been so loving to us and was preserving my sanity even before this began!

 

At my company 3DI, Tom Moe facilitated an auction for a mini ipod and my boss Kevin Wagner graciously volunteered to match whatever the iPod brought in. What a blessing this turned out to be! Dave Watson had the wining bid, Kevin matched it, and our Kendall snuck in a donation too! What a sweet surprise!! It's heart-warming the way that 3DI North West region has adopted Kyle.

 

Tom Fakner, Forrest Lewis, Caren Eddings, and Audra - My team back at our MPUSD office are experiencing a heavier work load as they have become my eyes and ears enabling me to continue to run my projects from here. This, to which they are stepping up to happily. The very busy Woody Nelson even came down to become an extension of myself! What a great and supportive team I belong to! I am so very blessed.

 

RDS Architects - Rosemary, Don, and Stephen are just some of the kindest most compassionate people I know. Rosemary stopped in and brought flowers and Japanese wishing swans from RDS. What a nice suprise that was!

 

My contractors have stepped up to the plate too! Legacy Roofing and Waterproofing and its staff have been faithfully following Kyle's progress and wonderful in their support and prayers.

 

MPUSD - Our client has been so very gracious! Many of the principals are offering support and those crazy girls in the Business Office are just worthless....er...um...I mean priceless! Yeah, that's it Priceless! They keep us smiling! Thanks Chickies! My precious surrogate mother Jean Clarey....We love you too, thank you!

 

UCSF - Dr. Loh (Kyle's primary) is just a God sent! She is open to new things and listens intently to what I have to say regarding Kyle's care. She realizes a very vital aspect of caring for Kyle...listening to the people who know him best. She is a specialist in her field and comes complete with the weigh in of many other specialists across the country.

7 Long nursing and staff - You are just so precious to us! Your patience, care, and concern are always perfectly balanced for Kyle and for us!

Anne P, Anne B, and Child Life - There are no words. What would we do without your teaching and resources?! Your full support of Kyle, as well as parents and siblings! 

A word of thanks...

 

" Our family and friends have spread the word across the entire USA! There are literally thousands of people and hundreds of churches praying for our little Kyle to pull through the other end of this on top!

We just can't tell you how grateful we are to each and every one of you for helping us to be as available to Kyle as we possibly can.

 

To our all of ourfamily and friends... we are forever indebted to you for your support, love, and prayers.

We have not yet begun to fight...We are so comforted to know we are going into this with each and every one of you behind us!

May God Bless you as richly as he is blessing us."
