GRANTED!

I WISH for help for my sister in her time of dire need

Recently my sister posted on this website wishing for a life saving seizure monitor for my 2 yr old neice Faith which she very gratefully got and the story was featured on THV (link below)I regret to say our father called me this evening to tell me he was on his way to Little Rock Childrens Hospital because Faith had more seizures this afternoon and her heart stopped. They could not resuscitate her, we lost our Faith. My sister Mandy had to quit her job with Baptist Health to care for Faith full time. My wish is for someone, anyone, to please help her in this time of need. Unfortunately as much as I wish I were able I am in Florida so I cannot be there to support her during this time of sorrow. I haven't had the opportunity to talk to her yet but I know she is hurting both emotionally and financially and I have no idea how she will even be able to arrange for a service or to care for her remaining child 4 yr old wayne. I am also afraid she may loose her home due to lack of funds. I appreciate any help anyone may possibly be able to give and please keep our family in your prayers.
thank you,
Amanda Book

    Today our mom went to the bank and opened a Memorial fund "Brenda Book or Mandy Jackson for Faith Jackson Memorial" at First Security Bank. I just want to thank you all again for all the thoughts and prayers and all the help that has been offered so far. It really restored my "faith" in humanity to know that so many people we don't even know us are willing to help us in our time of sorrow.

  • brendagbb 17 months ago

    I want to let everyone know that Mandy is hanging in there. She is having a very hard time which is expected and as her mother I have no idea what to say or how to help her. All I can do is be here for her. I want to personally thank each and evryone of you for all the prayers and the monitary donations you have given to her and Wayne. We are still trying to figure out what we are going to do because in no way are her daddy and I going to let her lose their home. Again,Thank you all. Brenda
