Welcome! This page is dedicated to Ross, Maggie, and Ellie Marshall to lighten their load as they prepare for another big hurdle as a family.  Just last year, Ellie underwent open heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect.  By the grace of God, despite some serious complications, Ellie has blossomed into a vibrant, energetic 1-year-old!  Life was beginning to take normal shape again with some happy milestones on the horizon – celebrating their long-awaited honeymoon and breaking ground on a new house.  If you know Maggie, Ross, and Ellie, you know that there are no people on earth more deserving of these joys.  

They learned unexpectedly that Ross will require urgent, major surgery for a heart condition of his own.  We pray for his swift, full recovery so that he can return quickly to his “girl dad” duties, which he has mastered this year with natural talent and tremendous skill.  

This surgery will no doubt come with significant financial burden and added household stressors, in addition to cancelling their honeymoon and halting progress on their move.  Please consider giving to their family according to your heart, abilities, and talents, whether that be financially, blessing them with a meal, or donating your time and energy to assist with chores and errands. You can find a place for all of that here.  

Most importantly, please continue to lift them up with prayers and encouraging words – these are the most valuable of all.
