Show some MTG support!

From our good friend Jim McMahon... You have all been so supportive of this blog, now time to be supportive of a real cause! Please read this tear jerking letter and give as much support as you can! Thank you all in advance! Boss

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

I am writing this to request your support in helping out a family in our neighborhood, the McGoverns. Many of you are familiar with this story, but for those that are not, here’s how one family’s life changed in an instant, on a warm summer day last July 28th.
Every parents worst nightmare became a reality for Jim and Jackie McGovern when their two and a half year old daughter Lauren, managed to climb the ladder on the family’s backyard swimming pool at 106th & Millard, and fell in. She was found in the water unresponsive shortly after this, and after calling 9-1-1, one of the neighbors immediately went to work trying to resuscitate her, while the Fire Department ambulance was responding. She was rushed to Christ Hospital, where she spent the next several months clinging to life. She was later transferred to, and is currently in the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), and with the help of God, will be coming back home to her family during the first week of December.

Her Aunt Christine, would like to thank our neighbors for the huge outpouring of past support from the community, and is asking for our future support by taking a few moments out of our busy schedules a couple times a week, to send an uplifting note to the McGovern family on Lauren's “carepages.” She realizes that life continues for everyone and we’ve all got families of our own, but there has been a considerable decrease in messages and this little girl and her family still need our support. Even if you don't know the McGovern family personally, it would mean a lot to them if you could please send them some words of encouragement.

Please register at https://www.carepages.com/carepages/laurenmariemcgovern/messages,
go through the pictures of Lauren and take note of her great progress. This beautiful little lady is a real fighter and she is working so very hard. Let’s all take a few minutes a week and show the McGovern family that we care. Hopefully, these messages make Jackie and Jimmy realize that they are not alone in this battle, and will help their family get through the tough days that still lie ahead.

I’m asking everyone to make this a community effort and have faith that God is listening to everyone’s prayers. Please continue to pray for God’s mercy, and that His healing hands will grace Lauren with a quick and complete recovery.

I would like to thank everyone for their future prayers and support for the McGoverns, and for taking the time to send a kind word with best wishes to Lauren.

Jim McMahon
