Lightbulb My Daughter is Having Brain surgery and the Storm Destroyed her room!

Hi, my name is Juleigh and just graduated from high school. As all of my friends are packing for college I am packing for a long hospital stay. I planned to attend college this fall for nursing but God had other plans. Two years ago I started having severe headaches and found out I had a brain tumor. One of the tumors had eaten away the top of my skull in a 3 inch diameter. Then other problems began to mount from this issue and a birth defect of spina bifida. I also found out I had Chiari Malformation which causes my brain to be herniated into my spinal canal. I will have all tumors removed and biopsied, have my skull lifted and bolted back in place on my spine, have my brain put back into place and have the missing part of my skull replaced with artificial bone or plastic. Sounds like fun huh? So with these brain and spine issues most of senior year was spent at home. I was still able to get a great nursing scholarship that I can’t wait to use in the spring or next fall. I should have surgery the first or second week in September. I will find out the exact date on 8/10. Now here is my wish: A few weeks ago we had a severe storm and tornado through our area. Our home’s air conditioner was struck by lightning. The pipes are over my bedroom and the water flooded my bedroom ruining everything from my ceiling to the floor. I need a new floor, ceiling, paint, and bedroom suite along with a new curtains and bedcovering. This is my wish: To have a new repaired room to come home as I recover. Any help will be appreciated in forms of gift cards to any stores that will help like Lowes, rooms to go, home depot etc. My medical bills have been so high that there is nothing left for repairs. I wish for prayer too as this is so scary for me and my family. I pray in turn that you’ll be blessed by the loving hand of God and your days will be filled with peace and with God’s awesome grace. I have seen the love of God in acts of kindness and answered prayers. Be blessed and thank you for reading my story and for your kind consideration. Juleigh Gilbert

You will be in my prayers. I am so sorry about your surgery that is coming up.
I know what it is like to have a flood. My home was flooded out a few years ago and still don't have good floors down ( carpet ) and have very dumpy furniture. I hope and pray that your wish will be met.
Please keep us updated on your surgery and how things are going~
