You got this

 My nephew who is only 46 had a couple strokes a couple weeks ago.  From what I understand they have his blood pressure under control but his left leg and left arm needs PT, and he also needs OT, and he can't work right now. I made him this card using these sentiment panels that I thought may be encouraging for what work he has ahead of him. I added a metal turn fastener to the panel I glued down.  I popped up the other panel with foam tape.

  • Metal turn Fastener and brad

After I sent the first card one of their friends made a GoFundme page for him to help with all the medical bills since he can't work now. I was texting with his wife and asked her if it would be better to send her a check or do the go fund me and she said a check would be great, I couldn't just send a check so I made another card for him using an image from my old Thomas Kinkade daily calendar from a few years back.

  • SRM sticker - Thinking of you sentiment sticker
I would appreciate all prayers you lift up for my nephew to heal.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Oh, my goodness... at his age. I know it happens, even much younger, but what an upsetting shock. Your cards and sentiments are perfect. The words are some of my favorites and I find them very encouraging. I hope he will, too.

Your encouraging card carries such a strong and heartfelt message, and the way you layered the sentiment panels with the metal fastener gives the design a grounded feel that fits the purpose so well; the second card with the Thomas Kinkade image has a peaceful look that adds comfort, and both pieces show such thoughtful care.
