This month, we’re asking Seva students and teachers to offer a helping hand by delivering a meal to friends of the Seva family. Tim and Gina Gort are great people and would be an admirable family under any circumstances. In fact, Tim and Gina are amazing parents who exemplify the meaning of persistence, teamwork ,and above all, love. Tim and Gina have met their share of challenges lately,namely the devastating news that their newborn daughter, Eliza, is suffering from brain damage. Tim and Gina’s first daughter, Gwen, was born with cerebral palsy. As you can imagine, the news of Eliza’s diagnosis is all too familiar.
As Tim and Gina adjust to their new lifestyle, we’re asking for your help to allow this family to rest a little more comfortably.
