Pray For Kate ( Even If You Don't Pray )

This is Kate. Kate is 5 years old. She has just been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor the size of an egg.






















These are Kate's parents.




















This is Kate's family. Please pray for Kate.

    Thanks for adding the "even if you don't pray" line as I am one of those. But I will certainly send all my support and good wishes to that beautiful girl and her family.

    Hearing things like this break my heart and then makes me pissed when I hear others complain about not having enough clothes, or thin hair, or other tiny miniscule things.

    They will be in my prayers!!!!

    I will pray for Kate and her beautiful family. Thank you for asking. (and I'm horrified that I've heard of four brain tumors in children in the last couple of months).

    Dear Maggie,
    Yes of course I'll pray for Kate. So kind and wonderful of you to shine light on others, to make another person's hope and suffering real across our invisible borders - I suppose that is the best of the blog world?
    Love, Shai

    De-lurking to say that my thoughts are with Kate and her family. Life seems so unfair sometimes.

    I know its kind of wrong to think this way but I always wonder why little kids have to go through something like these.. its unfair. But who am I to question the way things work, right?

    Will definitely pray for Kate.

    This is tragic. I've read a lot of stories like this and it's great that they are out there. I do wish there also be as much sympathy for families with sick children that do not look like the all-anglo-american dream. Still, it's a media angle and not a criticism of your beautiful blog/

  31. Maggie MayJuly 19, 2009 at 8:11 PM

    i agree and would have put her up, had i found her story, if she were of any color or face or flavor. she is a little girl who is terribly sick. that's all we need to know-

    Thank you for posting this and bringing it to our attention. If you are able, and hear more, keep us updated. They are a lovely family, and for ANYONE, especially ANY child, to go through this, it is just heart wrenching. Praying...
