“No one has ever become poor from giving.” – Anne Frank
Meet the Snyder family.
Danica at age 2 1/2
March 2008 – The Snyder family moved to Ohio to be closer to family.
February 2009 – Monica was plagued by many health issues so she had a laparoscopy for endometriosis.
November 2009 – 2-year old Danica had her first brain decompression at University Hospital in Cleveland (MAJOR SURGERY).
August 2010 – Monica had a full hysterectomy and was told they could not get all the endometriosis on her bowels. She would have to wait but she needed more surgery.
October 5, 2010 – Danica had a second decompression and cervical spinal fusion (Another MAJOR surgery) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She was put in a Minerva brace and wheelchair. The Snyders were told her recovery would take about a year.
March 2011 – Monica had bowel surgery at Cleveland Clinic.
Dan has suffered with kidney stones this year and has had two surgeries…neither of which have totally eliminated his pain.
Danica continues therapy weekly and will have another visit to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in October. She is still in a neck brace nearly a year after her second surgery. Can you imagine a 4-year-old in a neck brace for a YEAR? The first several months, the brace was from chin to waist…I can’t imagine.
There are two easy options to choose from if you’d like to join me in helping the Snyders. I hope you do!
1. Make a donation to the family on the Chip-In
2. Donate an item or service to the online auction our friend Alivia, of Simply Give is holding for them. The auction is being held this Thursday, September 22nd. Send Alivia an email by Wednesday, September 21 at 11:59pm EST to get in on this awesome opportunity. ( Alivia.hersh2@yahoo.com )
Thank you for your time in reading this…I know this was a long post…but I am really hoping we can all pull together and make a huge difference in the lives of this incredible family.

Thank God for the kindness he puts in our hearts. Anne Frank was right, you don’t have to have a lot to help someone. Though I’m in the midst of organizing a fund raising auction too, I would love to do something to chip in. And the family will be in my prayer. All the best to them.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:
