Greg Contreras (OEBC & OCTO) Progress Updates

Ed Economy · Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:14 am Post subject: Greg...

Greg has made such big improvements from where he was just a year ago, but he still has a long way to go. I myself am guilty of not going to see him enough. His family is still struggling to make ends meet (need to come up with a fund raiser) His daughter is growing up so fast she is a little person now. Carrie needs prayers to help her find a good job and to help them thru these tough times.

This is a post from Carrie on Aug 17th.
I hear "daddy, you need help?" Then Greg said, "no I got it." I walked in the room to see him sitting in his chair! He just transferred himself COMPLETELY on his own from his bed to the wheelchair! First time he's done it without an ounce of help!

Sorry for the long delay been off the computer and trying to get some work done. If I hear more I will try harder to keep you all updated ED

Any updates? Was Carrie able to score a teaching job yet?
Yes more funds needed from all of us. I'm sure every little bit helps.
