PLEASE HELP A FAMILY IS IN NEED!!
From Ammon Jeffs"After a lot of deliberation on how to cover the expenses, we are incurring with Beth’s hospitalization and the expected extended recovery from the complicated neurological effects of spinal meningitis, we’ve decided to take this route with a go-fund-me campaign."
We are reaching out to our community, friends and kindhearted strangers to ask for support. Your donation will go directly to:
Hospital Bills
Travel & Lodging Expenses For The Family
Recovery Support After Discharge
No amount is too small and every donation counts
1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,640
Good morning.
This is not a surprise episode.
2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,600
It's something way more urgent
than that.
3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,720
A few months back, I had the
opportunity to set, sit down and
4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,520
have a conversation with AM and
Jeffs.
5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,960
He'd come on the podcast talk
about his experiences growing up
6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,120
in the FLDS Church during the
rule of his father, Warren
7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Jeffs.
We talked about his journey out
8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,360
of the FLDS Church and how he
was able to preserve his faith
9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,120
by casting out Warren's
doctrines and by learning and
10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,960
applying principles found in the
restored gospel is taught by the
11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Prophet Joseph Smith.
Well, today Ammon needs our
12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,480
help.
His daughter's been diagnosed
13
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,440
with spinal meningitis.
Now, last I heard, his daughter
14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,920
was stable and has started to
receive treatments.
15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,320
However, the hospitalization,
expected extended recovery from
16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960
the complicated neurological
effects of the disease is going
17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,080
to be very expensive and could
be financially devastating.
18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Ammon has set up a GoFundMe page
and you can find that in this
19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,240
episode, show show notes or in
the descriptions of the post you
20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,080
see here.
One of the things I love about
21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,400
Mormon in history are the
countless examples of us coming
22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,000
to the aid of those in need.
Now we have a family stuck out
23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,320
there on the proverbial planes
and they need our help.
24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,800
So if you can take a minute and
go to that GoFundMe page and
25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200
donate, even if it's just a
little, if everyone that listens
26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,760
to the podcast donated just a
little, I know that we could
27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,760
significantly alleviate this
family's suffering.
28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,000
So let's live up to that
heritage that those early Saints
29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,760
left us and help Ammon and his
family out by donating today on
30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,680
that Go Fund Me page.
I love you guys and thanks for
31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,200
taking a few minutes to listen
to this.
32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:39,880
