A note from the Carleys: “Thank you all for your outpouring of love and generosity to our family. We have no words . . . we are blessed with the best people in our lives. May our great God bless you all.”

Jake and Madi, Jodi and Marc’s two older children, are currently in school.
Madi is beginning her last year in the Registered Nursing Program at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, and Jake is finishing his degree in CNC Machining Technologies at Central Lakes College on the Staples campus.
Due to the fact that both kids are paying their own way through school, they are currently living at home and saving housing and living costs. As such, their health has unfortunately been compromised along with the health of the rest of their family, and in effort to protect both themselves and their younger brother Wesley (who suffers with chronic illness and severe sensitivity to mold), they too must replace all of their belongings, including school supplies, clothing, and larger items like their computers.
Please consider partnering with or “adopting” these students as they wrap up summer jobs and try to prepare for a new school year severely short on the necessary items to do so. A list of items needed has been provided below, along with purchasing links for your convenience.
Jake and Madi plan to store their new school items outside of their home so as not to contaminate them until their family can find a new and safe place to live. Purchased items can be shipped to:
The Carley Family
C/O Lakewood EFree Office
6284 Fairview Road
Baxter, MN 56425
If you decide to make a specific purchase on either Jake or Madi’s school supply list, please leave a comment below and list the item purchased so that item can be removed from the list and not purchased in duplicate. Thank you!

We have fulfilled all of Madi’s items (including scrubs) except actual laptop and clothing gift cards. Coming Jake’s way is his backpack and steel toe boots. Consider this directly from Jesus to each of you. We are sure praying over your family!
