Friends, many of you already know my son in law Jared was hurt on the job Thursday the 2nd. He is still in the hospital at this time and not expected to be released before Monday. His wife Kaylee (my daughter) has been at his side day and night helping him. Once he gets home its going to be a lot getting him settled in and use to only using his left hand for now. Kaylee is going to have the grunt of the work and taking care of Jared. They are in the thick of it right now and could use our support and prayers more than ever. If any of you have it on your heart to alleviate some burden for them, I am sharing a few ways to. If you would like to a monetary donation, you can venmo, cash app them directly, buy a gift card, or give a donation on the meal train. This is so helpful and will be so helpful in the days to come. If you cannot deliver the meal, I would be happy to deliver it for you. Lets rally around them and let them feel our love and support.

Target - Target Gift Card

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

CVS Pharmacy&reg; - CVS Pharmacy Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

"My Kidney's Going to California!" A Living Organ Donor Story

One year ago this month, in March 2021, my daughter and I drove to South Carolina to see my dad. At one point, she was driving, so I checked Facebook to while away the time and I see that my friend and fellow writer Kelly Hartog had posted a plea for a kidney. I knew [&hellip;]
