My beautiful, hard-working, servant-hearted, mother-in-law, Elaine Shriver, suffered from a brain aneurism on May 29, 2014. Statistically speaking, the event should have taken her life. But God is merciful and gracious and kept her safe long enough for doctors to rightly diagnose her and treat her problem. She required brain surgery to remove the aneurism and drain the blood and fluid built up in and around her brain. We give God all the glory and praise for bringing her this far! (Pictured below is Elaine and her husband Ron)

Since she required emergency transportation, brain surgery at the University of MD, has at least two weeks of ICU care, followed by an unknown amount of time and services in hospital rehab and home care and therapy, her medical expenses will be quite high. I am trying to do everything that I can to help my family out financially through this very unexpected and trying time. I have decided that all profits from prints and products purchased at my Summer Mini Sessions will be donated to the family to put towards Elaine’s medical expenses.

If you would like to receive updates on Elaine, you can join her community facebook page. If you’re local and would like to help by taking them meals, please email me and I will send you the link. If you would like to donate to ease the burden of her medical expenses you can do so at her Go Fund Me page. Please “like” her facebook page to stay up to date on future events and fundraisers to help the family.

I would be so grateful if you would share this post with your friends and family! If you know of anyone looking to have family photos done in the Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania area, this would be a great way to help out a very deserving soul.
