The Crawford Family and precious Maverick

This is the sort of thing that I normally would not do. I do not know this family personally but the mother is the sorority sister of an old friend of mine from Borger and I have been really shaken by this.

You can click here to read about Baby Maverick. He is only 4 weeks old and is literally fighting for his life. He has cancer and has just stared chemo.

If you pray, please do so for Maverick and his family. Pray for a Miracle for Maverick and strength and guidance for his parents and big sister.

There is an account set up at the Happy State Bank for Maverick's medical care if you would like to contribute. The info for the bank is below:

Happy State Bank
500 Tascosa Rd.
P.O. Box 552217
Amarillo, TX 79159
Phone: 806-351-2265

Checks can be mailed and made out to the Maverick Crawford Benefit Fund. You can always ask for Shane Watson at the bank if you need assistance.

Like I said before, I would normally not pass along a request like this but I truly believe that this family can use all of the help they can get. As most of you probably know, my sister Jamie almost died in 2006 and it is only by the Grace of God that she is with us today. My family received letters from people and churches from as far as Australia that were praying for her.

This makes me so thankful for our happy, healthy, baby boy. And I feel like I must to something to help Baby Maverick.

Please pass this along to anyone you know that would like to pray for the family or make a donation.

Sincerely,
Emily
