Supporting Sister Estrella & Brother Joel ❤️ On September 18, 2026, Sister Estrella will be undergoing abdominal surgery. She will be recovering for several weeks and will need plenty of time, rest, support, and encouragement as she heals. We’re putting together this support page for Sister Estrella and Brother Joel because sometimes the simplest things—having a meal delivered, helping with an errand, sending a gift card, or simply letting them know they’re being prayed for—can make a difficult season a little easier. If you’re able to provide a meal, please consider signing up on the Care Calendar. Meals can be homemade, delivered from a restaurant, or provided through a gift card. Give InKind makes it easy to see what days are still available and coordinate support. But please don’t feel like a meal is the only way you can help! Give InKind offers several ways to support a family during a challenging season. Depending on what is listed on their page, you can also help with rides, errands, childcare, household needs, gift cards, items from their Wishlist, or financial support. You can also leave an encouraging message and follow updates so you can continue praying for Sister Estrella and Brother Joel throughout her recovery. If you aren’t able to provide a meal or hands-on help, your prayers are deeply appreciated and are just as meaningful. Please keep Sister Estrella, Brother Joel, and their family in your prayers as they prepare for surgery, walk through the recovery process, and adjust to the weeks ahead. Thank you for loving and supporting this family during this season. Every meal, gift, act of service, encouraging message, and prayer is a beautiful way to remind them that they are not walking through this alone. ❤️🙏
