Prayers Needed

Joe,

I would like to let our community that a Friend is in PRMC and in need of our prayers.

Barbra Mixter had a lung transplant some years ago. Because of her transplant from a donor, Barbra and Steve were determined to give back in some way.

As Steve is a car guy (64GTO), they were the driving force behind forming the Wheels That Heal Car Club.

WTHCC started with a few people and today we are around 85 members and families.

During this time Barbra was on the donation committee charged with finding worthy recipients of the donations raised by WTHCC.

Over the years WTHCC has run the Cruise For A Cause in the fall. Thousands of dollars have been raised and given to people in need.

Remember the little boy burned by a BBQ fire near Pittsville/Whaleyville. He and his family were one of those helped by the Car folks.

All of the Car community is supportive of the Mixters during this time.

I hope folks will say a little prayer for a Family that has given so much to the community.

Thanks,
Dave

They are great people and Barbara would never tell you she has a thing wrong. She and Steve are always asking how they can help others, now it's time for the community to unite behind them!

It's time to show this wonderfully giving couple how much the community appreciates their good work. I, for one, will pray for them both, but perhaps more than prayers are called for.

Many prayers here. Wonderful woman that Barbra. Steve = stand up guy.

If more is needed, Dave, let us know. Time to give back to those that gave back.
