Hey guys and girls. I got some extremely saddening news yesterday. One of my best friends, Robbie and his fiancee were expecting their first child in 3 months. Unfortunately Janet (the mom) was rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section. Baby Robert was born at 27 weeks. The poor angel weighs less than 1 lb. Edited: My mistake Baby Robert weighs about 2 lbs.
Robbie and his wife Janet are in Mexico with zero health coverage. Robbie paid upfront to have mom and baby admitted. Having to deal with an extremely premature baby is horrific on its own, but now they also have to deal with the monetary problem. Last update was yesterday and both baby and mom are fighting for their lives.
Please, please, please brothers and sisters I need your help. If you can say a prayer today for Baby Robert, Janet and Robbie to get through this unimaginable time i'b be forever indebted to you. Baby Robert needs all the prayers he can get right now. It's hard for me to type this out right now, thinking about what my best friend is dealing with.
His mom also setup a GoFundMe if you're able to help out. https://gofund.me/99151ea2
Thank you fellow Patriots.
That was really nice BQ. Thank you for the kind words and prayer.
Thank you so much UncleHooly. What you wrote was beautiful. Thanks for the prayers to help Robbie's family.
I'll post an update once we hear more. Godbless you Patriot.
Needs a sticky, plz mods.
Let's give this project some love.
Thanks for suggesting that Sadness. Every prayer helps.
Theyre in my prayers, friend. <3
Thank you very much Starseed. It's great to know I can count on some help when it's needed the most.
Done!
Thank you MuckeyDuck for your prayers. Your compassion means a lot to me.
Jesus please pray for Robert, Janet and the lttle Robbie. Whenever You pray for someone something good happens. And this precious young family is in great need of something good.
You're going to make me cry. That was beautiful Fabian. Robbie and his family appreciate your prayers more than you could ever know. Thanks for keeping them in your heart.
Father, have mercy on this family and send them the need they must acquire. Save their child. I pray most of all for Your will be done for it is perfect and beyond our ways. You love that family in a way we never could. If it is possible use us any way we can to help them. In Jesus name amen.
Is there any way we can help?
That was beautiful Jtap. It really means a lot to me seeing this kind of support. Robbie's mom has setup a GoFundMe which I linked in the post. If you're able to give that's incredible. My intention is not to pester for donations, I'm just trying to spread the word and get all the prayers we can for Baby Robert to pull through. Also looking for prayers to help make sure mom pulls through.
Thanks again Jtap.
James 2:14-18
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
The Holy Spirit convicted me that we need to be more like such to each other as siblings in Jesus Christ.
God bless you and God bless them in Jesus name, amen.
Amen to that. Thanks for the kind words brother.
Stay strong. We'll make sure that go fund me link gets spread as far as it can.
Yep staying positive is key. I might not have many friends in life but it sure feels nice being able to count on my fellow Patriots. Hope you and your family stay safe out there.
Dear Father, please give strength to Baby Robert and Janet to heal together. Allow them to feel each other’s spirits to bond and lift each other up until they can physically meet. Watch over them and guide the doctors and nurses to provide the best care possible. Please give comfort to Robbie and stand by his side as he supports his family. Amen.
Thank you so much ShakeAndBake for taking a few moments out of your busy day to say a prayer for Baby Robert and family. My friend Robbie is the most solid friend I've ever had. He's the kind of guy that'll give you the shirt off his back and the last dollar in his wallet. Watching him deal with this situation is gut wrenching. I honestly don't know where he's finding the strength. Thanks again for the kind words fellow Patriot. Godbless you and your family.
Of course! A few moments of my time is nothing compared what they must be going through. Prayer is so powerful, it was kind of you to outreach to everyone for help. I pray that you may find a moment of peace as well as you await any news from your friend. Please keep us all posted with how they are doing.
As soon as I hear an update I'll let everyone know. I'm absolutely floored by the amount of support, prayer and compassion you guys and girls have shown for my friend and his family. Our fellow Patriots are truly my family and I will never forget what you guys did for me.
