Chad & Meredith Tucker joined Chris & Christy on the Lighthouse Podcast today. They celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary this year. They live in North Carolina and together have three kids all with double names - Carson Perry (8), Pearl Monroe (6), and Franklin Reeves (2). Their daughter, Pearl Monroe, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in November 2019. Those early days were hard as Meredith was pregnant with Franklin Reeves plus the world was entering a global pandemic. Chad and Meredith share how their community surrounded them during the storm with fundraisers, meals, texts, and phone calls. It was tough to say "yes" to letting others help but in the end, they were so thankful for the aid and encourage others to accept help when it is offered. Pearl Monroe, whom they lovingly call "Roe Roe," rang the bell on her birthday this year and it was a glorious moment of celebration!
The Tucker family started a non-profit called Roe Roe's Heroes. Roe Roe's Heroes raises awareness for childhood cancer, promotes blood drives, helps raise money for cancer research, provides financial assistance to families, and tells the incredible stories of other families going through similar experiences. To support this non-profit, check out their online store.
