Donations needed for struggling family

Aaron Stovall, 13, was diagnosed two years ago with juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma. He was been receiving chemotherapy weekly with no success.

The doctors at Riley Hospital are now ordering him to receive a continuous six-week course of proton radiotherapy only available in Bloomington, Ind.

As a single-parent household, the family of four already struggles to get Aaron to his appointments and treatments.

They are in desperate need of financial assistance to allow for housing and loss of pay while in Bloomington.

Any donations will only be used for what is needed to help Aaron. He is a kind and loving child who already shoulders the burden put upon his mother.

Donations will be greatly appreciated, but above all else, the family begs of you to please pray the treatments work.

Donations to help Aaron Stovall, left, and his family may be made to Teachers Credit Union under “Hope for Aaron Stovall,” P.O. Box 3741, South Bend, IN 46619.
