Thank you for taking the time to read this message . As you may or may not know, my cousin Dustin is currently in the hospital due to heart complications. His sweet wife Denise and their 4 kiddos Hayden, Mason, Camden, and Brooklyn have their hands, hearts and minds full with daily life and being there for Dustin and all the procedures he's had to endure recently and is currently enduring. I've created this meal train to make the daily task of meal planning and making a bit easier for Denise and her family. So here I am reaching out to all of you today to help take the task of cooking meals off their hands so they can focus on Dustin and his recovery, treatment, and needs. If you are willing and able, we would really appreciate the help with meals.  If cooking isn't your thing, restaurant gift cards or grocery gift cards will also help. I've also posted Denise's venmo information if a donation is more up your alley. If both are a struggle for you that is completely understandable, Dustin and his family could also use prayers and any good vibes you are willing to send!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕 
Trisha, Dustin, Denise, Hayden, Mason, Camden, and Brooklyn

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

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;]
