For those of you who don’t know them, Pam and Tomo Nakamura attended and served Union Church from 2012-2017. Tomo graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity degree and worked as a hospital chaplain in Connecticut. They now live in Japan with their two young daughters, Karis and Ellie.
Recently Pam was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer and recently underwent surgery. She will do chemotherapy and radiation starting September.
Our church is collecting a love offering for them to help them with expenses during this difficult time. To contribute, please donate by the end of August either securely online and specify “for Pam and Tomo,” or mail a check to Union Church with the memo “for Pam and Tomo.” Please lift them up in prayer for perfect healing and provision for the whole family.

We will figure out a CC (Collection Corner) where you can drop off clothes, shoes, jewelry, home goods/small household items and etc. If you have bigger items to donate and need a pick up, we will figure out how to do that.
If you would like a receipt for your donation, please include your name, address and list of items being donated.

21-month update
August 10, 2022
and 1 year at home
As Michael continues recovering, we are reminded of how fearfully and wonderfully we are made (he is made!). Considering the severity of the stroke, I am amazed at how well he is doing. When I think back to where he was last year when he came home, he has come so far! At times, we are both frustrated at how long it is taking; however, we are always grateful for what God has done, continues to do, and has yet to accomplish.
He is still receiving outpatient physical therapy and even looks forward to going. We often sing on the bus or van ride and he watches the way we go to rehab, at times recognizing roads, parks, and restaurants. Praise God, his memory and speech are still improving. His right leg is still not responding, but his right hand and arm are slowly improving, and he is getting physically stronger. The picture below shows how much better he is getting at sitting up straight.
The expenses we incur that are not covered by insurance are great. This is difficult for me to share, but we are in serious financial need. We pray for God's provision, and humbly ask you to consider helping if you are able. Please see the link to the GoFundMe page in the comments. Other ways to help financially are via Venmo (pm me), gift cards, and others have mailed checks as well. Thank you very much. 🥰
Thank you to those who consistently call, text, and of course, pray. 🏽 We appreciate it - we appreciate you.
Gifts to the Stafford's
If you would like to help financially, you can send funds via Venmo to @mrsmesisme or the GoFundMe page here. Other gift cards (Grubhub, DoorDash, Visa, etc.) are always helpful and appreciated.
