CPT Yllescas

Boy, have I been a slacker not posting in a while. Clinicals have kept me very busy and we are trying to get the end of the semester class work finished. But I felt compelled to write about a fellow military family in need of your prayers, thought and possible donations. CPT Yllescas is a US Army Ranger, who was injured by an IED while serving in Afghanistan. He was injured back in Oct and has undergone many surgeries, one of the most serious yesterday. His wife is staying at the Fischer House at the National Naval Medical Center so she can be with him daily. And they have 2 young daughters, one who is here visiting now. Imagine what this must be like during anytime in your life, but now imagine it near the holidays. Please consider visiting their website and making a small donation to their family. Trust me, you will read about the family and the trials they are going through and will want to do something. If you would rather, feel free to make a donation to the Fisher House. Without the Fisher Houses located at Military Medical Centers around the world, military family would not be able to afford to stay close to their active duty loved one as they recover from wounds of the wars.
