Hammonds

Some sad and challenging news about Carter our 7 year old.

For those who haven’t heard, Carter our 7 year old, has been diagnosed yesterday with “ALL” Leukaemia, he’s in the University of Chicago Hospital-children’s ward. He is receiving world class care, Community-our church has been outstanding in loving and helping us,

Carter is being very brave & in good spirits despite having had a blood transfusion and several serious procedures.

They’ve been gone over a month, but its still easy to not realise they aren’t around somewhere. After all, the Junction only gets together as a big group once a month and we always have a break in January, with many people taking holidays.

But the Hammonds have arrived and settled into their new home in Chicago and are settling in well from what I can tell.

How can I tell?

The Junction and friends braved the typical, unpredictable Melbourne weather to gather together at Crystal Brook Park at Cardinia Reservoir, to spend some last times with the Hammonds, before the leave on 9th December.

Disregarding both sun and rain, we took the opportunity to do what the Junction does so well - eat and share life.

We will bid a last farewell to the Hammonds at our gathering next Sunday, so be sure to join us there.
