No one fights alone!





This first Picture is of Kaila in Chicago after her boot camp graduation. Her recruiter is Chief Ferrara. He is pictured with Mitchell in the hospital . Chief Ferrara has been involved in Mitchells fight, has visited at the hospital in his dress uniform, let us use his office for  the hair cutting party, has continued as a mentor to Kaila, and has become a friend of our family... 
 
...This is a picture of Chief with his mom Kathleen Ferrara. She has recently been diagnosed with Uterine stage one cancer. She is going in on Wednesday April 13th for surgery in Raleigh NC. Chief and his mom are viewers of the blog so please leave a comment for them. Our family sends our love and support to yours. Be strong and fight hard!

  1. Chief Ferrara:
    Thank you for all the support you have provided for Mitchell and mentoring Kaila.
    Now we also wish your Mom a successful surgery and to win the battle against her cancer. Too many people affected by cancer and illnesses but also many beating them. We will pray for your mom and the surgery team successful results.

  2. Chief Ferrara and Mom Ferrara. I am Mattie's Aunt Paula. I am 59 and am a survivor (2 years) of breast cancer stage I. The news can be devastating but it is also an opportunity to enbrace hope as we never have before. Attitude is everything, it makes the sunshine just a little brighter and life a whole lot sweeter. You will all be in our prayers. Mom Ferrara, if you want my email address Mattie can give it to you. Support is so important. Aunt Paula
