A community banded together to give a mom with cancer her perfect wedding day. A group of people lent their time, talents and money to help a woman experience a special day. Watch the short but sweet and tear-jerking video about a mother battling cancer and how several people did what they could to make her wedding memorable.

There are many terrible, horrible and awful things in this world. Cancer is near the top of that list. It causes nothing but hurt, heartache and pain. Sadly, most people have been impacted by that deadly disease in one way or another.

However, during these horrible situations, something spectacular often happens. People, even strangers, will typically come together, and do what they can to help the patient and their family. Tremendous and moving displays of love and kindness can and often do happen when people are at their lowest. That is precisely what happened when one woman with terminal cancer got married.

A clip posted on YouTube points out that a community raised $20K for Esther and Mike Furches’ wedding.

“Everyone’s donations paid to have that wedding happen, literally everything, because people just wanted to help,” Esther said. “We planned this wedding in a week.”

Later in the clip, Esther mentions that those who attended the wedding were community members. Anyone who had touched and or made even the most minor impact on her life was invited to her wedding, Esther said.

Esther is in a desperate fight for her life. Initially, doctors said Esther was cancer-free in November, but sadly, in December, the cancer had returned in full force. She has been given a year, but she is determined to beat cancer and see her children have children.

The Lord can still perform miracles and is fully able to defeat cancer. Esther and her family certainly need prayers during this time.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
