Joiners Asking for Prayers

Devastating news from North Carolina where the Joiner family is asking for prayers for their older son Trevor. You remember, both children of Janet and Joe Joiner were handed the same fatal diagnosis and were advised to make the cross country trip for stem cell transplants.

The youngest boy, Ross, died recently from complications after his transplant. The older son, Trevor, has gone through two transplants, and now, the doctors at Duke are telling the Joiners that this second effort does not seem to be working either.

Again, this Lubbock family is asking for your support and prayers as they continue to look for a miracle.
