Garage Sale... A HUGE Success!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  We are amazed by your generous contributions of items to be sold as well as supporting the sale, by buying many items, baked goods and donating funds.  We were overwhelmed by the love, generosity and giving spirit of everyone around.  SO many hours of service in setting up, selling and cleaning up were donated as well.    Thousands of dollars were raised and all the funds will all be doubled through a generous donor.  Hopefully, this will alleviate financial burdens of the Laparra's so they are able to focus on what is most important.   The LaParra's are so loved!  It was incredible how many people donated time, items and money in their support.  Thank you again!

Gracias! Gracias! Gracias! Estamos maravillados por las generosas donaciones que recibimos tanto de cosas y comida para vender, como de dinero. Por supuesto agradecidos con todos los que vinieron a comprar. No sobrecoge el amor, la generosidad y el espíritu de ayuda de todos los que participaron. También muchas horas de servicio preparando, vendiendo y limpiando fueron donadas. Logramos reunir miles de dólares que serán duplicados por un generoso donante. Esperamos que esto alivie las finanzas de la familia Laparra y les permita enfocarse en lo más importante. Todos aman a la familia Laparra! Fue maravilloso ver la forma en que tanta la gente dono su tiempo, pertenencias y dinero para apoyarlos. De nuevo GRACIAS! El mejor cierre para un día como este fue que Laura regreso a CASA el sábado por la tarde para continuar su rehabilitación desde allí. Que gozo fue verla regresar a casa!

The crowning jewel to this entire day was that Laura returned HOME Saturday afternoon to continue her rehabilitation from home.  What a joy it was to watch her come home!

Jueves 6 de marzo

La foto muestra el momento en que Laura y su hija de 7 años se reencontraron finalmente. Una escena enternecedora.

Laura está en un hospital de rehabilitación y tiene sesiones de terapias cada día. Esta comenzando a hablar aún cuando sufre de una parálisis facial. Puede usar sus piernas y brazos pero aún debe utilizar una silla de ruedas.

Neal A. Maxwell dijo: "más cosas de las que el mundo puede imaginar suceden a causa de la oración". Una gran verdad, especialmente en este caso. Cuán hermoso ejemplo de amistad y del poder de la oración.
Nuevos amigos que ni siquiera conocen a la familia Laparra. Sepan que ellos les aman.

Por favor sigan orando por esta familia tan maravillosa y por la recuperación de Laura.

Por favor recuerden ir a comprar al Garage Sale este Sábado en el 8104 E Peralta Ave, Mesa, AZ, 95212
Un generoso donador ha ofrecido igualar los fondos al 100%!

Gracias a todos por su amor y oraciones!

This photo shows Laura finally being able to hold her seven-year-old. Tender reunion.

Laura is in a rehab center and works with therapists everyday. She is starting to be able to talk, although she still has facial paralysis on one side. She has some use of her arms and legs, but she is still in a wheelchair.

Neal A Maxwell once said that "more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."

How true that is, especially in this case. What a beautiful example of the power of prayer and of friendship - some new friends who don't even know the LaParra's personally. You are all so very loved by the Laparra family. 

Please keep praying for this incredible family as Laura continues healing.

And don't forget about the yard sale this Saturday at 8104 E. Peralta Ave., Mesa, AZ 85212. If possible, please stop by and show your support. A generous donor has offered to match the funds raised by 100%! How generous and kind!

Thanks to all for your love and prayers.

Garage Sale and Bake sale March 8th in Arizona

If you are able to help, donate or even just come shopping please stop by the garage sale at 8104 E Peralta, Saturday from 6 am-1.  Here is a list of things that we need help with if you are able

I spoke with regional director Dan Ferrin with Modern Woodmen/Fraternal Financial Services Organization today. This is the group that is matching the donations of this garage sale. He had great news for us, he was able to arrange for 2 regions to match and donate funds which allows for the amount matched to be upwards of $5000 which is double the original offer. I feel so blessed to be a part of this entire process, its amazing to see the good people have within them! I was handed a $10 bill from a women who was just chatting with her neighbor about the garage sale and why she was donating the items so her neighbor ran into her home and grabbed the money and offered it as a donation. TRULY AMAZING!!!

March 1 - moved from the hospital into the rehabilitation center
