Friend in Need

Dear Friends-
As many of your know one of my friends/sorority sisters, Laine Virtue Harper gave birth on August 24th to a beautiful little boy named Leighton Clement Harper who has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. On top of Leighton’s heart problems Leighton was born 10 weeks prematurely. As you can imagine Leighton and his family have had a long and stressful last two months. Laine’s little boy is currently still undergoing treatment at the Little Rock Children’s Hospital where he is expected to be for several more months. At this point the doctors are saying that he will need a heart transplant before he is able to return home.

Before taking up a second residence in Little Rock two months ago, Laine and her husband Rich lived in Lowell, AR, where they both run their own businesses. For those of you who are unaware, Lowell is roughly three and a half hours from Little Rock. As you can imagine, the past two months has been emotionally and financially draining on their family. I would first like to ask that you keep this beautiful family in your thoughts and lift them up in your prayers. In addition, I would ask that you prayerfully consider donating to the Harper family fund. You can make donations by choosing any one the three options listed below.
