Bent But Not Broken

Many of you know Fr. Aaron Eime and his family as missionaries in Israel who St. Luke's has supported for many years.

You may not know that two of their chlidren, Atarah and Tirzah, have been diagnosed with scoliosis, and have been undergoing treatment for the last two years.

Recently, routine x-rays taken to examine the degree of curves and see how the Pilates and chiropractic sessions have been working. In Atarah’s case there was no change whatsoever, her scoliosis has not improved nor declined but all the hard work has only maintained her moderate curvature position. Unfortunately, in Tirzah’s case despite all the hard work of bi-weekly Pilates sessions, regular trips to the chiropractor, and a daily exercise routine, things have only gotten worse, most noticeably in the past 6 months. Something else is causing the rapid progression of Tirzah’s curves, and the diagnosis is Marfan Syndrome. 

The Eimes have initiated a Go Fund Me account, “Help get Tirzah straightened out!”, to help cover the costs of the treatment and travel to specialist in London. Tirzah is booked in to start on February 6th at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic. Aaron will accompany Michelle, Atarah, and Tirzah to London get them settled in and then return to Jerusalem

They would appreciate prayers and sharing the Go Fund Me link with anyone you think may be interested in helping their family.
