About Me
- Molly Stroud
- I am a 34 year old wife to Joel and mom to four sweet kids. Anna-13, Julia-11, Olivia-9, and Will-7. I lived a fairy tale life until the summer of 2008. My health came crashing down around me, and for the next three years I endured mountains of complications due to a hysterectomy. I've lost my sanity and am now a diagnosed manic depressive.. aka "Bipolar". I hope in sharing my experiences that I may encourage others not to lose hope... and to remind them that sanity is overrated.

Joel and I have exciting news!
We have been accepted into the mission trip to Haiti! We will spend ten days in a camp that offers medical care to the impoverished people. Joel will be part of the construction team, that will literally be
building the roof over our heads.
The conditions these people live in is beyond comprehension. Most have little to no clothing, no clean water, and no food. The staple of their diet is flour, mixed with water and dirt. They call them "dirt cakes". They have no homes, and some don't even have a shack or a lean-to to sleep in. Their land was devastated by the hurricanes earlier this year. This makes their already desperate situation even worse. Many die from minor illnesses or injuries, and all are infested with internal parasites.
Joel and I are preparing our fund-raising efforts.
If anyone feels led to give, we would GREATLY appreciate it. We would also appreciate your prayers as we strive to be vessels for God's work, and are going into a situation we've never been in before. We feel so blessed to have been chosen for this mission!
