Thank You
Thanks for making the “For Diana” effort a HUGE success! Every single CD has been sold and to date over $20,000 has been raised for the Luscombe family. Additional efforts have produced another $6,000 through the CD. Thrivent will be adding a generous $5,000 to the pile, making the grand total raised for the Luscombe family somewhere in the neighborhood of $31,000!!!
Thanks be to God, and to all of the musicians, studio engineer, and volunteers from New York to Florida to Michigan who helped make the “For Diana” project possible. The Luscombe family has expressed their deep gratitude, especially for al of your prayers. The journey is just beginning for them, so please remember every time you listen to the “For Diana” CD to say another prayer.
What happened:
On June 16th, 2007, Diana, Mark, Hannah (age 2), and Cole (age 3 weeks) were in a terrible car accident in south central Pennsylvania. The car hit the middle concrete divider, bounced back and forth on the road, and then flipped and rolled, finally stopping upside down.
Miraculously, everyone survived the accident, and Mark and the children were almost unscathed. Diana, however, sustained serious injuries, including head trauma and spinal cord damage.
After long-term therapy at Magee Rehabilitation Center in Philadelphia, Diana went home on December 7th, where she will continue the long process of out-patient therapy. Diana has regained some mobility in her right hand, some small amount in her left. She has also been able to regain some ability to lift her knees. Most importantly, Diana has never lost her faith, a true gift from God. In fact, Diana is stepping into a new gift and has been painting. One of her pictures was featured as part of the 2008 Magee Rehabilitation Center Calendar.
Diana is still on her way to becoming a diaconal minister in the ELCA, though exactly how is still unclear. Her husband Mark has just taken a call as a pastor at a congregation outside of Syracuse, NY.
“For Diana” was initiated by the ministry of Faithful Folk to raise money and encourage people to pray for the Luscombe family. To hear music by Faithful Folk, please visit the Songs, CDs portion of the website.
