Isaac's Rock is an attempt to help carry the
burden of the Lehr Family as their Father Isaac goes through cancer treatment. As a result of the illness, Isaac is unable to work, the Family has moved from their house to a trailer to decrease expenses, they have sold most of their belongings, and they intend to live their life to the fullest right now ~ together full time as a Family. The struggle that they are going through can not be known to most of us. Their strength entering into this battle is truly inspirational. With all the cancer foundations out there, they have found little day to day support for going through this. Isaac's Rock is intended to help them carry their burden by raising awareness and funds through carrying and passing this rock around with Families willing to help. It takes a village. |

Isaac Lehr is a father of four, husband, friend and one of the greatest Family men any could know. At 34 he has recently had tumors removed and the statistics suck. The ‘Rock’ was introduced on stage at a Saturday April 14 early hard rock'n FamiliesRock! Vallejo show ~ a literal ‘Rock’ to be relayed by Families around the country to help ‘carry the burden’ of Families in need. Families will work together helping satisfy the needs of this Family and others while walking the ‘Rock’ around Austin and beyond. FamiliesRock! proceeds from the Vallejo show went to Isaac's Family to help with expenses. We launched Isaac's Rock at this show after carrying it around Austin ~ it started its tour around the country leaving Austin with the FreerangeFamily to Houston. Families that are willing to help carry the Lehr Family burden will be involved in the relay. Please contact us if you are willing to help carry this burden. Press Release for the Rock launch. |

Lehr Family Blog | To Donate | Families Rock For The Lehr Family
Dear ones,
I am writing to inform you all of some circumstances surrounding the Isaac Lehr family right now and to ask for your help.
As you may know, Isaac has recently undergone surgery to remove tumors in his lymph system that have revealed the presence of cancerous cells in his body. In short, Isaac and his family are beginning a battle with cancer. On January 9th Isaac had surgery to remove a growth on his shoulder and on March 21st had five cancerous tumors removed from under his armpit on the same side. A CT scan has revealed a “suspicious” object in his chest and because of the presence of cancer in his lymph nodes, there is a threat of more cancer showing up…As you probably know, Isaac is not a man to be threatened. According to the medical professionals, this is a very bad situation. According to Isaac, this is an opportunity for God to be known.
If you know Isaac at all, you can imagine how hard it is for him to be in a place of need. He is a strong man able to take care of his own…and right now, he is in great need. Isaac and Johnna have, at our request, humbly shared some of their needs with us. As a father myself, I can only start to imagine how hard this must be for them to have the humility it takes to ask others for help...
We know that in honor of the Lord, Isaac has made his wife and kids priority in his life. Isaac has always done everything a man could do to provide for his family. Not only with food and shelter, but also by his presence in their lives giving them assurance that he loves them and considers them his most precious. The Lehr’s have sown seeds into their kids, into their community, their churches, their friends, and their family. It is my firm belief that it is time for a harvest for that family.
Some of you may know us. We are Brye and Salem McBee of the Clan Brees. We have been friends with Isaac and Johnna for many years and have come to form a kinship with them that is nothing less than a divine work of God. We love them very deeply and are committed to standing with them. About three years ago, after our eldest son died, we formed a non-profit (tax deductible) organization in his name to assist families who are in need during illness or disability. We are honored to be able to coordinate assistance for the Lehr family and also to be a point of contact for you to keep up with their circumstances. Please keep our website marked so you can stay updated and/or make contributions to them as you feel moved to do so. Also, Isaac has started a blog (an internet journal) that you can use to stay updated on the happenings of their family. This can be accessed by going to our website and clicking on the Lehr family page.
Based on their current need we are looking for individuals, families, churches and businesses to financially assist them. There are two specific needs we have identified. One is the need to raise funds for his healthcare treatments. The other is to request of those who feel called to do so, to make a one year commitment to contributing to the Lehr family to help with their monthly expenses. Like I said before, I believe there is a harvest available to the Lehr family. If you feel you can or want to be involved in helping carry this burden with this family, please contact us and/or make your contributions via mail or our website (www.lovejustis.org). Your donations will be used to directly assist the Lehr family in paying for their immediate healthcare expenses and also providing gift cards and other resources that can be used for meals, groceries, etc.
We need to make sure this family we all love knows they will not walk through this alone. Our prayer is that as God heals Isaac, we (all of us lovers of the Lehr family) have the opportunity to be an example of how God’s people gather around when one of us is hurting. How a real community and family respond when one is in need. Please consider joining us in that stand and please also feel free to let us know if you have other resources that might be of assistance to them. God is covering this family. We ask you to financially contribute what you can and consider a monthly commitment. More importantly, we ask you to join us in prayer for the Lehr family. Prayer that the God who created Isaac’s body would work a healing miracle in that same body. That just as God has always done for Isaac in other areas of his life, He would place the very best counselors, advisors and resources in his life that he needs right now. And most, that the almighty God who loves Isaac more than all of us put together would have His way, and that He will be glorified in this.
Shalom,
Brye & Salem McBee

PS – We have begun this with a very limited mailing list. Please forward this message to anyone you know who you think would like to assist the Lehr family and/or keep up on Isaac’s condition. There is also a place on our website where they can submit their email to be added to the mailing list.
Isaac's Rock starts...
Isaac's Rock starts as an idea and a minor criminal act involving the neighbor's vacant house in South Austin, TX. We picked the one on the top right.
Turned it into a flyer and threw a rock show...
