Dear Praying Partners,

Please pray immediately for a member in our church in Pampanga, Bro Tristan. This is the young man with cerebral palsy who is in a wheelchair. He's been having a real hard time physically recently and the doctors aren't sure why or what to do. Back on December 25 one of his siblings was pushing him around in his wheelchair and it fell over. Ever since then Bro Tristan's right knee has been literally locked in a bending position and causing him extreme pain from his lower back downwards to the point where he is often crying and screaming. So far we've been able to help him getting x-rayed and even visited an orthopedic doctor. They thought at first that there might be a fractured bone, but they have x-rayed him and haven't found any fractures so we're not sure what they're going to do next. The doctors gave him painkillers and told him to come back after a month, but the pain seems to have gotten even worse and Bro Tristan also hasn't been eating much and has lost some weight so that's not good. We're going to hopefully get him into the hospital here today. If you would be willing to assist financially please email me and let me know and I'll contact you personally if the financial need arises. As of now, I don't know for sure what kind of financial assistance Bro Tristan might need (or if it will be needed), we'll just have to see what the doctors say at the hospital. Bro Tristan's family honestly live on next to nothing and won't be able to do anything financially if needed. We once gave him a decent foam mat to lay on at his house because all he has been laying on is a piece of cardboard, that lets you know how poor his family is.

Thanks and God bless,
Bro Jeremy

UPDATE
We just visited him and Bro Tristan's pain is causing him to go hysterical. They're taking him to a hospital now so please pray for God's healing as well as wisdom for doctors.
