Happy New Year!

2026 - Wow!

We sent out our 266th grant to a NICU family this morning.

We are so grateful to everyone for donating, sharing, coming to Larrys annual 5K, so many people! We love you all so much!

Even though we are juggling Larry Jr's severe health issues and are supporting our son Johnny and his wife as they care for their little NICU baby, Elise...WE WILL NOT STOP helping families at Mott. There are so many in need of financial assistance. We know what it is like when you can't even gather enough change from your pockets to get a cafeteria meal. Please continue to donate and help these families. Thank you!

We are in the beginning planning stages for our FOURTH ANNUAL RUN WITH THE BEAR 5K AND 1 MILE RUN-WALK-ROLL to help families at Mott. We will keep you all posted!

As far as Larry Jr's health--it isn't great. Last night was very bad. His pain is so bad. I feel like I'm watching my son go through labor.

I know, I'm like a broken record, but please keep praying for Larry.

We know what the pain is.

Well. Sorta.

It's one of approximately five things. So even though we know, and it sounds like we don't know, we really do know. That's so confusing.

SIBO. Gallstones. Kidney stones or uric crystals. Bowel obstructions. Gastritis.

Thank you so much for the continued prayers.

Bear needs love and rest and peace.

Elise, our grandbaby who is in the NICU at Mott Hospital, is improving. But the doctors do anticipate that she will be in the hospital until approximately St Patrick's Day. Elise is 5 1/2 months old now. She has been in the NICU since her birth, July 17.

Thank you again and we wish for all to have a safe and happy 2026!
