Our family will be doing a Sub 4 Santa this holiday season. Here is the AmAzIng family that we will be helping out! I had my sis write up a little background on them. Anyone that is interested in helping us out, please send me an email: mexiprincess89@hotmail.com or leave me a comment, or facebook me too. Ben & Viola are the proud parents of Fanga (7), Anela (5) and Ben Jr (3)
In March 2010, they welcomed a precious new baby boy. SioSaia. After several months of health problems and numerous visits to Primary Childrens Medical Center, Saia returned home to his Heavenly Father. He was 5 months old.
A few weeks ago Ben Sr. started feeling sick. Headache, dizzy, nausea… he finally went in to the hospital and they found a tumor in his pituitary gland (the home base for all of your hormones in your body). 3 weeks later (today) he will be admitted to neurosurgery and the tumor will be removed. He will remain in ICU until he is stable to be transferred to a transitional floor.
As you can guess, the medical bills (for the baby and Ben) are enourmous, living expenses have piled up – with both parents not working and trying to survive- it’s impossible.

They are such an amazing example of Faith.
They know that this year has been their trial. They know everything will work out.
Anything we can do to lift the burden. They could use your prayers.

UPDATE****
My sis and I went up to the hospital last night to visit the fam and see how Ben was doing after surgery. He is doing really good, just pretty sore. The doctors are very positive that they were able to remove the entire tumor! He was in really good spirits. We have been really trying to get some ideas about what the kids would like for Christmas. For sure any sports stuff for the little boys and any Hannah Montana or princess stuff for the little girl. We were able to get out of Viola last night that they would all love the Wii!!
