This is Kate McRae. She is 5 years old and an absolutely GORGEOUS little girl and full of some much life. Just 15 short days AGO she was a normal, happy , thriving child until they found out she had a brain tumor. She was immediately taken into surgery to remove what they could but she has a LONG road ahead of her. Please pray for Kate, her mom and dad (Holly and Aaron) and the rest of their family.
I stumbled across their story from
Kelly's Korner and I went the Kate's
caringbridge website immediately and read Holly and Aaron's journal from the beginning and just prayed and cried out to the Lord for this family. I do not know them but I cannot imagine then pain, hurt,
hopelessness,
helplessness and shock they are feeling. They are a Christian family and are asking people to cry out to God in prayers for this sweet little angel. They have a lot of faith in God, believe in the might power of prayer and the all soldiers that are faithfully praying. This story has touched my heart in a very profound way and I am continually praying for Sweet Kate.

Please look at her website, know her story, pray for their family and keep this little girl in your hearts as she battles the fight for her life. Please feel free to send them emails, cards, notes,
ANY THING to help lift their spirits. I will post an address to the hospital at the end of the post and you can also email them through the
website
Holly's (Kate's mom) email address in on the Caring Bridge website, please send her a note just to lift her up or let her know you are thinking about Kate and their family and you know her story. The more people praying the better.
