Please pray for Tank

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Please pray for Tank

Post by philco »

Posted below is a copy I took from Tank's facebook page. Tank aka Anthony Meeks is a long time member here at AAPK and has served as a moderator for several years. Tank has ALS and has been bedfast and on a ventilator for years. In the past few months his health had declined considerably. Here's what his friend and caretaker, Robin posted:

This is Robin posting for Anthony. For those that don't know, Anthony just started hospice care. We are hopeful for improvement, but also preparing for decline. Thank you all for your love, thoughts, prayers, and kindnesses over the years. Love to all.


Please lift this courageous young man up in prayer and ask for God's hand to be upon him.

Really sorry to hear of this, prayers for him every day. Humble yet stronger than most people I know, life just doesn't deal the cards right IMO.

May God's will continue to be manifested in Anthony's life, as it has been in the the past.

ALS is a terrible disease. Maybe someday, we will have a cure or a preventative for it and the other associated neuromuscular diseases like MS and MD.
