THE CRAVEN FAMILY

This is about my big sister Fern and her husband Jewell. They are the most loving giving people you could ever know! They have been married for 24 years now, and life for them has been a rollercoaster ride just like the rest of my entire family. But they have been the back bone of this family! Both have given every thing they have to keeping the people they care about alive in this world, and helping others fulfill their dreams while putting theirs on hold. I know they have been there for me in my darkest hours and always helped me through! I have nine other siblings that can account for the same thing. It’s just not their family they help but anyone they ever come in contact with that needs them for anything at all! Sacrificing there dreams to help others! Fern is this family’s special girl that was touched by god when she was at the young age of seventeen. She suffered from Hotchkins Lymphoma and a brain disease that took her life, but God had other things in mind for her. He let her return to the land of the living to help take care of us! She is a remarkable dear sweet woman, and so is her dear sweet husband! My mentor and great friend! They have done so many random acts of kindness that I feel even god himself could never repay them for.
I only wish I could list every thing they have accomplished for some one else and not themselves!
They both make a modest living and have bought land and planned to build their dream home there. The land is gorgeous and plentiful. They live in Jewell’s garage basically. A small metal building that has been turned partly into a very small house and car shop. Never ever complain about how much they help others and neglecting their dreams. They have owned this piece of land for over 10 years now and are still in that metal building. Only part of their dream that has been erected so far is their foundation of their dream home. That has sat there for over 5 years now. It has trees growing up in the middle, and grass and nature have almost reclaimed their dream. We as a family recently did a extreme make over for my mother on her 1860’s farm house and they were the two biggest contributors to the remodel. Jewell even cut his thumb off in the process. We have been working on this house for over nine years and its about 90% complete. MY it’s a site to behold and all done by my family. Fern and Jewell put off their dream to make sure my mother has a place she can retire and live her dream. Things have been rough in my family here lately with illnesses. Fern and Jewell again to the rescue. I am a former US Marine and Gulf War veteran that is now starting to suffer the after effects of my service and have been very ill here the past year. I would not have made it with out Fern and Jewell Craven! She has never left my side and has walked this path with me step by step.
I am not asking anything for me, but I want them to have their dream! They deserve it in every way possible! As soon as possible!
I am filling out your application now but I’m unable to take video. This is the Best story out there, and I need you to help me get it out. Thanks for listening and, PLEASE hear me when I say “FERN AND JEWELL CRAVEN DESERVE THIS!


Thank you for the bottom of my heart Fern and Jewell!

I'm have been a volunteer with the Make A Wish Foundation for over two yrs and I've had dealing with the show and Host Ty Pennington. My advice to you would be to submit a video when you can. They require it. Also get as many family members and friends to submit letters and e-mails on the families behalf. Good luck. Lastly, they get hundreds of entires so try to be creative as possible. Hope this helps.

its worth a try and i think they deserve it but it seems they usualy pick people who either have a lose in the imediate family or someone in the house has a disability. good luck!!
