Eva Kirchner was born into a loving home on February 2, 2010. Eva's mom, Rachel, was a friend of Meggan's from UW (Rachel was one of the first women to dance in the worship arts group Meggan started). The two of them reconnected over the phone in February, coming alongside each other in the new challenges of motherhood. In early April, when Eva was about two months old, Rachel was diagnosed with cancer. Rachel fought her cancer hard, both in the course of medical treatment and in prayer. Nonetheless, on January 24, Rachel passed into the arms of her Heavenly Father.
Today is Eva's first birthday. I cannot imagine the challenges she will face. Praise the Lord, she still has a family who loves her very much.
You can help care for her in a small way, too. As a memorial for Rachel, you can contribute to Eva's college savings account. We can't change the thing we would most like to change, but we can come alongside Eva and her family in this tangible way at this most difficult time. Checks can be made out to Eva's dad, Matt, and sent to:
Matt Kirchner
W168 N9307 Grand Ave.
Menominee Falls, WI 53051
Thanks. Lord Jesus, come quickly.
