Parker's Purpose

Parker's Purpose A foundation to perform a respectful service to childen, who are ill and disabled in immediate financial crisis. Parker is also our (Fremont St. Joseph C.C.)

Parker’s Purpose was founded in May, 2008 as a result of people coming together to help out the Inks Family in their time of need. Some may know of their situation and some may not so I will fill you in. Parker, a third grader in my wife’s class, has muscular dystrophy and is contained to a wheel chair unable to move except for his head and his hands slightly. ball/tee boy for the football team an

d added a ton of inspiration and motivation, as he would address our team before every game giving them words of encouragement. He looked forward to his contribution to the team every week and worked hard to come up with his motivational quotes before every game. As for our coaching staff, players and myself he reminds us everyday to be thankful and appreciative for what God has given us. To cherish all that we have and not stress about what we do not have. Unfortunately on March 15th Parker was life lighted to St. Vs due to respiratory problems. He was there for 30 days and hooked up to a ventilator for most of that time. His diagnosis was viral pneumonia and a collapsed lung. During his first three weeks at St. Vs Parker almost lost his life on three separate occasions. Remarkably a higher power had bigger things in store for Parker as he made a miraculous recovery and checked out of the hospital on April 14th. Parker had a trach put in to assist in his breathing and to this date still has one lung that is slightly collapsed. Despite all of this Parker is back at home doing very well and is back to his normal upbeat, positive self. If that wasn’t enough, his mother Patti started chemo on March 29th. She is diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and is continuing her treatments to this date. Due to this extraordinary circumstance myself, along with many others started a fundraising campaign to help assist the family with their mounting medical expenses. The result was amazing. The outpour of support was so uplifting to all of us involved that it has sparked us to start our foundation called Parker’s Purpose. The name of the foundation stems from Craig (Parker’s dad) telling Parker during his hospital stay that he has more work to be done here on earth, that he still has a purpose for being here which is to inspire others that come into contact with him.
