The Patrick Family

A while back I received an e-mail via Break the Grey's 'contact us' page. It was from the Patrick family in Georgia. They were requesting prayers for 14-year-old Nick Patrick who is fighting recurrent PNET (a rare type of childhood brain cancer).

Shortly after they contacted me, Nick took a rapid turn for the worse and hospice was brought in. It looked like Nick's battle would end in the arms of Jesus. However, God seems to have different plans for him. Since then, Nick has made nothing short of a miraculous recovery. He is no longer on hospice, and has completed another round of treatments in an effort to slow tumor growth. You can watch Nick's testimony below:


His family has requested two things of Break the Grey: first is obviously prayers for Nick's complete earthly healing. Please pray that his tumors shrink and die, and that his upcoming scans show no cancer. Please also pray for strength, grace, courage, perseverance, and hope for their entire family.

Second, they have requested that cards, mail, and encouragement be sent to his younger sister, Autumn. She, like so many other siblings of children with cancer or other life-altering illnesses, has not received as much attention while her brother undergoes treatment. Any note of hope, love, and encouragement would be greatly appreciated. You can mail it to:

Autumn Patrick
210 Grassmere St.
Kingsland, GA 31548

Please add the Patrick family to your prayer list and take a moment to send some hope and encouragement their way!

Thanks for your support!

Hoping, Believing, and Never Giving up,

Sarah
