Outdoor Church at Sharon Woods Metro Park, September 27 beginning at 10:00am.

Of course it wouldn’t be an Adventist event without a potluck, so plan to bring your favorite casserole to share.

Hello Church Family! My name is Monya Peck, a fellow WAC member and one of the worship leaders in the Praise Band. I am so excited to be asking your help with a special project. Several months ago I met a man Don and his son Austin. Noticing immediately that the boy was disabled, I listened while Don explained to me that Austin has been diagnosed with the extremely rare Pollitt Syndrome.
Austin is 15 years old, but resembles a boy of 8. He is legally blind in one eye and close to blind in the other. He wears hearing aids. Socially, he conducts himself as 5 year-old would. He has delayed mental and physical retardation. Despite all this, he is one of the warmest children I’ve met.
After several years of attempting to find someone else with Pollitt Syndrome, (it is sooo very rare) Austin’s parents finally located James Henlan, a boy less fortunate than Austin who resides in a public health facility in England. At 22 years, he is older than Austin but the similarities are striking.
Austin’s parents have tried many ways to finance a trip to England for Austin and James to meet. In no way do they have the funds; since they are heavily in debt from Austin’s various treatments over the years. As I listened to their story, I couldn’t help thinking that practically everyone I know has been blessed beyond need. I’d like your help in trying to raise $5000 to send Austin and his parents to England.
You may hear more about this project in the coming weeks as I plan to follow up this flyer with a letter to all church members. I will also be organizing various fund-raising efforts. If you feel compelled to contribute, there are several ways to do it. I have set up a custodial account at Chase bank in Austin’s name. You may directly deposit, mail into the bank, or hand Laura Hanley a check made out to Austin Hopkins with account number 2910587373 in the memo line.
If you have more questions about Austin, please email me at monyapeck@hotmail.com. If you want to know more about James Henlan, type “Pollitt, Who Will Love This Boy” in the Yahoo (not Google or other) search bar. There was a local article written about him in Birmingham, UK.
I can’t say thank you enough in advance. Monya Peck
