"Urgent Prayer Request from Grace Baptist Church"


Email from Grace Baptist Church, Knoxville

We would appreciate it if you would keep her and her family in your
prayers...It is definitely a tough time for them right now.

This request is from a friend of Rebecca Montgomery at Grace BC.

Hello to everyone, hope you're doing well. I have a personal favor to ask of
you, (knowing you're praying people) My son -in- law's sister IVORY is 7 years
old and this week she was riding her go cart WITHOUT A HELMET, and lost
control, landing her under a neighbor's double wide that didn't have any
skirting.

She was stopped by the floor and support beam by her NECK. She slashed her
neck from her ear to her larynx,cutting her thyroid, her jugular was torn
slightly causing the blood to drain into her lungs, which then collapsed,
she broke her neck, & broke her back. She was air lifted to MUSC, she has
had 1 operation on her lower back and they found her spinal cord to be
totally cut.

They have to wait for 2 weeks to operate on her larynx, thyroid and neck.
Not knowing until then if her spinal cord is torn at the neck... which will
tell to what extent she will be paralyzed.

This little girl is only seven years old and has her whole life to live. I
ask you to lift her up to God in prayer.

And if you wouldn't mind adding her to your Church prayer chain, we all
know what God can do when we only have Faith and come together in unity .
I have added an attachment of Ivory, she is the little girl to the left,
and then one of her in the Hospital, she is such a pretty little girl, this
accident just breaks my heart.

Thank you SO much for your time and most importantly... your prayers.
