Via Judging Truth:"As we approach the Christmas season, our thoughts turn to giving. Traditionally we look for meaningful presents to give our loved ones that help us celebrate the gift of life that Christ gave us by his suffering and death(****or if you are an atheist/agnostic you just give for the heck of it.) I am posting this request to ask that you give the gift of life itself to a complete stranger this Christmas.
His name is Tyler Seedig and he is a young Marine who was had just begun his journey in life and in service to others. He was home with his family this Thanksgiving weekend and went deer hunting with his older brother on Sunday. On the way back home they were involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his older brother Tanner and left Tyler severely burned. He was transported to the Parkland Burn Unit where he remains in a critical care unit with severe burns over 65% of his body. He will not be reporting to his unit, nor will he be home for Christmas, New Years or possibly even Easter. Tyler will most likely spend the next six months in Parkland Hospital trying to survive the initial trauma, fight off the coming infections and allow his body to slowly rebuild."
If you are in Texas, please donate blood, which is critically needed @ Carter Blood Center, if not, I am sure his family would appreciate all the help they can get in this trying time. Donations are being accepted @
