David Talkington and Van update

     

Dave in our current van "Captain Cave Man" aka "Goldie"

      Well this spring came with lots of weather and changes. Dave is working hard in physical therapy for neck range of motion and it seems to be working. We are thankful he has this opportunity and that he is making such great progress.

             

     Earlier this month we started a new season in life. We were honored to be sharing our hpp (hypophosphatasia) story of hope with others in the hpp community. Our heart is to encourage others that life with hpp is worth living even though there are some adjustments and bumps in the road to negotiate at times that are different from other's life challenges. I can't tell you how encouraging it is to share your story with others and listen to others share theirs. This is something we can do to give back to the community that has given so much to cheer us on and we are honored to do so!

     Many of you have asked for an update on the van and the fundraising for the new one. Since our last update Worth While Life  had a bowling fundraiser and raised $7000 that they deposited in Dave's Stable account for the van! We also received an anonymous check for $2500 this week for the van to the Stable account!!! We are so thankful for the love and kindness that has been poured out toward us! It has been truly humbling. The Help Hope Live account has grown to over $6030 as of today!!!  Words can not express how thankful we are to the many family, friends, and others we have not met yet that have given towards this project. Another thing you can do is share our story or consider a fundraiser to help us reach our goal. Just contact me if you are interested.

       Our latest step is to apply for a grant to help with the van since, as you can see, this is a large project. We finally found a grant that could fit but it takes months for them to process to see if Dave qualifies. We were able to submit this application yesterday and couldn't be more excited. In the meantime we continue to share the Help Hope Live website for any who would like to donate financially and follow our progress. It is tax deductible, which is a huge bonus! They also do matching funds through participating companies.The website also has info for sending checks as well if that is what you prefer. We appreciate all who are praying, sending positive thoughts, and cheering us on in this marathon project that we pray will soon be accomplished as our other van is getting pretty tired. We are thankful for our old van but our season with it is coming to an end soon and we are looking forward to the huge blessing that our new van will be.

                                                 

Dave driving to his next destination! This is a great new season for us!
