A Boy with a Mission-and a GREAT need
who happens to be a miracle. His name is Isaac Sneed. He just got his mission call for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My family got to be there when he read the letter that explained where he will be serving. He is going to the Romania Bucharest Mission and reports to the Mission Training Center in Salt Lake City on Dec. 14, 2011.
Let me back up about 11 years, a time I remember well. Isaac’s mom, Theresa Sneed is my best friend. Her son started complaining about his “tummy”. You know, the kinds of complaints all kids have. Only his ache never went away.
Long story short–he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. This cancer is almost always fatal, and most children who get this kind of cancer are diagnosed by the age of 2.  By the time it is discovered, the cancer usually spreads to the point of no return. Through a miracle, his tumor was completely intact and the doctors were able to remove it. Isaac was 8.
The cost of hearing aids is approximately $6500. His parents are currently without health insurance and cannot afford to purchase them. If you have a heart, and I know you do, would you please make a donation to get them for him. Every little bit helps. So far $110 has been collected in his behalf. But that’s a long way from the total we need. Even small amounts add up. You can go to any Chase bank and deposit funds. The account number is: 2996079725.
Thank you for your generosity and Christ-like love! Your donation may remain anonymous if you’d like.
Margaret, Thanks so much for reposting this! Isaac is an incredible young man! He’s going to make an amazing missionary.
You may send a check directly to Betsy Love, the organizer for this fundraiser and best friend to Isaac Sneed’s mother, Teresa Sneed. Make the check out to Betsy Love personally and she will deposit into Isaac’s account.

So my parents were deaf. My dad was the first deaf missionary ever called to serve in the church and he served in the first deaf mission of the church–in LA. He spent years after that working with the church to develop materials for teaching the deaf.
Anyway, I’d love to help. I don’t even know where to find a branch of Chase around here. Would you send me a Paypal link or address where I could mail a check? Because this is the kind of thing I can get behind.
What an insight, I love your post.
