Linda Blackburn Testimonial

Before I tell 'my story,’ I'd like to reveal a little bit of my background to help you understand why I was so willing to share with you my family's issues and needs.  I was in the Insurance Industry for 49 years and was verycareful regarding whom I would recommend when asked by my clients, as it was also my reputation that was 'on the line'. 

I am a great-grandmother of a 10 y.o. who lives 900 miles away. During this 5th grade school year, her reading grade plummeted in one semester from an A down to a D-.  She had been an A-B student from the beginning of Elementary School. Her parents were convinced, with no professional intervention, that she had ADHD and proceeded to 'pound' this into her. She went from loving school to dreading it. During a Bible study, I asked for prayer for her. Afterward, one of the ladies told me about her friend who worked with both children & adults with reading challenges.  When I reached out to Krisann, she immediately took an interest in our 'little family.' She had us send a videotape my great-grand reading with a photo of what she had read. 

Krisann quickly identified the problem. Krisann then gave some practical advice and suggestions as to what my great-grand could do. After putting these suggestions into practice for three weeks, my great-grand's midterm reading grade went from a D- to a B-. The joy of attending school has recaptured her heart! I could go on and on here, but suffice it to say that without Krisann's willingness to become involved in this 'rather dysfunctional family,' the eventual outcome would have been drastically different.  Krisann regularly asks about my great-grand when we communicate, and prays for her as well. The passion, love (for those she has never met, and probably never will!!), care and desire to help others that pours out of Krisann is a testimony as to how she uses and shares her God given gifts with those whom she can help.  I am eternally grateful for her heart and willingness to take the time to invest in my family!!!
