Silent auction

There is a family connected to Puebla Christian School which has struggled with health problems for a few years.  First, the mother - the current secretary at PCS - was diagnosed with lupus.  Shortly after that, the youngest son of the four sons began a two-year battle with non-hodgkins lymphoma.  While the family does have health insurance, it did not cover all the options they explored to cure Aaron.  As a result, the family incurred significant debt with the banks and through personal loans.   The PCS community put together Gofundme pages twice to help with medical costs, but even so, the debt grew. On November 5, 2018, Aaron´s cancer battle ended with him leaving for Heaven at the age of 15.  A few months later, his father began the process of dental surgeries which he had postponed during Aaron´s treatments.

Now Abraham and I are organizing a silent auction online with the hope to diminish (or eliminate!) the family´s debt.  We have sought donations from friends and also from businesses near the school.  People at Dios es Amor church have contributed as well, and now there is a smorgasbord of goods and services available for auction.  People have been very generous and helpful.  The sale begins November 8 on the googledocs https://forms.gle/kgkbpWuAzCx9CifN7 and will last until 8 pm on November 16. 

There will be an event in the evening at the school to end the auction.  People from the community around the school, as well as from Dios es Amor, and from the school itself are invited to presentations given by many of the school´s class groups.  Several ladies have offered to sell food at the event, with the money gathered to be donated to the family.  The auction will be totally online, but there will be computers set up and students ready to help with bids at the school.

Please pray that all will go smoothly with the auction.  Pray that each item or service sells well and that the debt can be significantly reduced.  Above all, pray for the comfort of the family Esparza Espinosa as they move forward without Aaron.  They know they will see him in Heaven, but naturally, their hearts are broken here on earth.
