It involves a special necklace that was designed especially for Jessica and all the proceeds from the sales of this item will be donated to Jessica's Journey Savings Club! I have seen it and it is beautiful! It was made in honor of Jessica and her efforts to increase Lyme disease awareness, something that Jessica has been very passionate about since she has been battling that disease for the past four years as well! As soon as I have all the info and links, I will blog this SPECIAL NEWS and how it all came about and how and when it will become available!!!

SPECIAL THANKS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my youngest daughter Michelle's best friends is Genevieve Klatt. They are in the 8th grade at Garden City Middle School. Both of her parents, Wayne & Renee Klatt, have been very kind to David & Michelle in my absence.

Wayne Klatt approached my husband and asked if it was OK for him to run a fund raiser at his office on Wall St. in New York City. David said yes and thanked him for organizing such a kind gesture on Jessica's behalf.

Words cannot express our gratitude to Wayne and the employees at CREDIT SUISSE EQUITY DEPARTMENT.
They held the fund raiser on Nov. 13th and this past Wednesday, the Klatt's gave my husband David the proceeds. They raised $19,250 for Jessica's Journey!!! Amazing - simply amazing!!! God bless the Klatt Family and all the employees at his office!!!

There aren't enough words to express our gratitude --- they just don't seem to be enough! But, I will say, that our hopes will be to one day bring Jessica back home - "healed" - to start her "new" life. It is then that the "ultimate thank-you" will be said to ALL of you --- because it is with all of your kindness, love, prayers, and GENEROSITY --- that have made this all possible for her!!!

With much love and appreciation,
The Stevens' Family

Update on Jessica:

Jessica and I have been in Monterrey for 3 months now and oh what a journey it has been! I remember when we first arrived here. Not only did we have "packed" with us all the supplies that we thought we would need, but also, more importantly, we "packed" with us the hopes and dreams of what could be.

For Jessica, she "packed" with her the hope of a life free of unbearable pain and the ultimate healing of her body from all sicknesses! The hope of one day being able to have a "normal" life again in a body that was "whole" again! We both knew, as well as her doctors, that the road ahead would be tough! That a body like hers that has been sick for so long would take time and that she had a big "fight" ahead of her. That Jessica and her journey to wellness would be fought on a day to day basis - just as she has from the beginning of her illness that began almost four years ago.

For me, as her Mom, I have had to take this day to day journey with her as well. This is not to say that her Dad and her two sisters have not endured this path with her as well, because they too have had to struggle along with her, but ultimately, when a child is ill, there really is one person that they want - and that is their Mom. For a child, they feel that Mommy will make it "all better" - as only a Mom can! Try as you might, there are times that even a Mom can't answer that call---that ultimately, we are ALL, in the hands of our Father above!

So today, I ask for continued prayers for Jessica. For her to continue this journey with the strength, conviction, and perseverance she has shown from the beginning! That God will continue to hold her in the palms of his hands and give her the peace that passeth all understanding to endure the road ahead. I also ask you to pray for the doctors here in Mexico, especially Dr. Cantu, who, day in and day out, help to guide her recovery, as only they can, with their wisdom, knowledge and expertise!

Jessica and I have seen the progress she has made since we have been here. Has it been easy? No. Are there hurdles and challenges still ahead? Yes. But, we have seen the miracles that can happen. We will not stop until we see that miracle unfold for her as well! She has been through alot and deserves that and even more! May God bless you and keep you and may his face shine upon you and give you peace!


In God's love,
Sarah Gina (Jessica's Mom)
