Please consider helping Atrayu Pickering & his family in his cancer battle.

00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,880
Hey everybody, it's Thursday.
Don't sweat it.
2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,040
Normal episode is going to come
on Saturday, but I needed to
3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,320
jump on here and talk to you
real quick because it's kind of
4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,480
an emergency.
I want to show you something
5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,240
here real quick.
This is a Trey you and Davery
6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,800
and their children.
Now, I'm fairly familiar with a
7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,160
Trey, you and his young family.
They have been to my home.
8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,600
They made it my table.
A Trey, you and I have had more
9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,200
than just a few deep discussions
about the restored gospel.
10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Trey is a good man.
He lives the restored gospel and
11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,920
his temple covenants to the best
of his ability.
12
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,880
He works to support his family
and then on top of that, having
13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800
the servant's heart.
He wants to contribute to his
14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,280
community.
So he's a volunteer EMT for the
15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,640
local ambulance in his little
town in Nevada.
16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,800
He also works on the mine rescue
team at where he works because
17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,120
he desires to be of service.
He's a tremendous husband and
18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,600
father and priesthood holder.
I can't say enough good things
19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,600
about this, this young man and
his family.
20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Now, what should be happening
right now is that Atreyu's
21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,480
family, they should be winding
up for the holidays.
22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,400
Their children should be feeling
the magical excitement that only
23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,560
this time of year can bring.
Atreyu and Davery should be
24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,840
planning family get togethers
and parties.
25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800
But unfortunately, this year,
the holiday season has been
26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,160
overshadowed by illness.
Just a little over a week ago,
27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,680
Atreyu was diagnosed with a very
rare and very aggressive form of
28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,480
cancer.
Given that aggressive nature of,
29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,400
of this cancer and after
consulting with his medical team
30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,720
and and making a a matter of
prayer, they feel like the best
31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,840
course of action is to meet this
with an aggressive form of
32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560
treatment.
So starting next week, Atreyu
33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
will be starting radiation five
days a week for 5 1/2 weeks.
34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Following that, Atreyu will
begin a weeks long protocol of
35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,520
inpatient chemotherapy, meaning
he's not coming home when he's
36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840
receiving those treatments.
To further complicate the issue,
37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800
those treatments are over 3
hours away from where he lives.
38
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Making that even harder.
It now becomes apparent that
39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,760
neither Atreyu nor Davery will
be able to work given that they
40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,840
have to be away from home for
these treatments and Atreyu will
41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,720
need that help.
Now, just because Atreyu and
42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Davery aren't working doesn't
mean the bills to stop coming
43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,760
in.
In fact, they're only going to
44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,640
get worse with co-pays, lodging,
meals, all the expenses that go
45
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,400
along with getting this kind of
treatment far from home.
46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,880
It's going to stack up quick and
you understand and get that.
47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,400
Now, this is where you and I get
to come in.
48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,120
We have a divine mandate as
disciples of Christ to come to
49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,920
their aid.
So I'm asking you today to join
50
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,760
me by clicking the link in this
episode.
51
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Show notes to a tray, use
GoFundMe page and donating right
52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,160
now.
Now, many of you say, look, I
53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
don't have a lot to give and
that's OK.
54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,040
You don't need to give a lot.
If we all gave a little, it
55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,000
would be enough to alleviate
much of this family's suffering.
56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,320
If we donated just 5 or 10
bucks, everybody in this
57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,320
audience, we would get rid of a
lot of the financial burdens
58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,320
that this young family is going
to have to face.
59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,520
You, the listener, have come to
the rescue of others before and
60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,080
I stand in awe of you.
I am amazed by you, your
61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,520
generosity, your loving, your
caring for your fellow fellow
62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,920
man.
And this is one of our own.
63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640
He may not go to the same church
you do, but he is a Mormon
64
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,480
fundamentalist doing the best he
can and raising his family.
65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,320
And now they need a little bit
of help.
66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,920
And we have to come to the
rescue.
67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,400
And I know that you are the
people for it.
68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,040
I have felt your love, your
concern.
69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,800
I have seen it in action before
when others have needed it.
70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,640
And I know we're going to do
this again.
71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,840
I love you and I thank you.
I know what Trey you does as
72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,080
well.
So let's relieve this burden for
73
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,560
this family this holiday season.
Let's all get in there and let's
74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,880
donate just a little bit and
help this young family out.
75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,240
I love you.
I look forward to seeing you
76
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960
again on Saturday and until
then, bye everybody.
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,880
