It's with a sad heart that I create this thread. A long time brother has been stricken with a rare form of cancer. Ara Jizmejian, known by most as "sofc" is extremely ill. Ara has been a generous and prolific member of this brotherhood. In his time of need I ask TWO things.
For those who want to be kept abreast of Ara's condition and progress you can follow here:
http://healthupdates.jizmejian.com/


1. In Ara's search of treatment in this time of year and the affects of his illness preventing him from work I am taking a collection to help his family out with costs of travel, food and overall expenses for his wife and three young sons. I would like this to run until December 10th for a gift to his family. If you would like to continue to gift or cannot gift after that I will keep the donations flowing and send any money once a week. I am not asking for a specific monetary amount just what you can afford or you feel you can donate. $5.00, $25.00, $100.00 or $500.00.
My lapyap is anthony.basile@rocketmail.com

DUE TO THE HIGH LEVEL OF INTEREST IN HELPING A GOFUNDME PAGE HAS BEEN SET UP FOR BETTER ORGANIZATION OF FUNDS. IF YOU WOULD STILL LIKE TO GO THE lapyap WAY JUST SEND THE MONEY FF WITH A NOTE "FOR ARA" OR SIMILAR:
https://www.gofundme.com/aras-fund-for-medical-emergency



I ASK EVERYONE JOINING THIS GROUP TO INVITE ANYONE THAT IS NOT HERE THAT I MAY NOT KNOW OR I HAVEN'T INVITED DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS OR PM ME THEIR BOTL NAMES AND I'LL SEND INVITE.

2. Ara is a Youth Pastor and oversaw the youth programs for 13 or more churches across the country. No matter what your beliefs I ask that you pray for Ara and submit Ara's name to your personal house of worship for prayer chains and for prayer by their prayer teams.

I would like to donate a sampler if possible...

I’m at the hospital right now but if it’s ok with you... whoever donates $50 via PP or Gofundme would get a killer sampler worth a lot more than that from me.

I'll take you up on that Chuck.. I was about to spend 50 elsewhere, but this is a lot more important..
I'll try to get something made for y'all to add to the auctions as well...
I don't know Ara, other than reading some past comments. But I'm praying without ceasing for him, and asking others to do the same.
