Many of you may know the Seinen family at Houston Christian School: Jon, Jana, Liam (Grade 12), Sydney (Grade 10) and Sawyer (Grade 8, homeschooled this year) have been an integral part of the HCS community for many years. In March just before spring break, Sawyer, age 13, went to Edmonton for a medical procedure related to his congenital heart disease. During recovery, there were serious complications. Sawyer has lost the use of his legs and is now a T8 paraplegic. Jon, Jana and Sawyer spent weeks in Edmonton at Stollery Children’s Hospital. On April 17, Sawyer was transferred to Sunny Hill Health Centre in Vancouver where he is participating in its acute rehab program for the next few months. There is no exact date of when Sawyer will be able to come home to Houston. As this has a lifelong impact on Sawyer and his family, we as a community would like to be a blessing and support to them through this event and fundraising campaign. Thank you for your donations, thoughts and prayers.
