Story
In the wake of the unexpected loss of Nic, Alexa is navigating the overwhelming transition with her two boys, Jaxon and Caden. Our main goal in creating this page is to remind Alexa that she isn't alone—not now, and not in the months to come. While it can feel like you want to show up in big ways, we believe it’s the compounding impact of hundreds of small actions that will make the biggest difference in lightening Alexa's load. Whether you're nearby or across the world, there are many ways you can show up on this page. As they settle into their new day-to-day life without Nic, we will continue to update this page with ways you can contribute. Your kindness—big or small—will make a world of difference. 💖 We encourage you to check back frequently as we find new ways to support Alexa and the boys in the months ahead. Please feel free to share this page far and wide.
Special Notes
🥙 PREFERRED FOODS Alexa and the boys are maintaining their normal eating habits as much as possible and focusing on simple meals. That said, we request meals that focus on proteins, vegetables, grains, and other healthy options, rather than heavy comfort foods. ▪️ Please avoid pineapple (allergy) and spicy foods. ▪️ Alexa doesn't mind some minor cooking or assembly. ▪️ Dessert is always welcome. As are snacks, pre-made breakfast items, and lunch salads. ▪️ Please include all components so she doesn't have to run out to the store for just one item. ▪️ We've included an extra adult in the count, as there is often someone helping her with the nighttime routine right now. 🚗 DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS Dinner is normally around 5:00pm, please plan for delivery around that time or earlier if it is prepped ahead and just needs final assembly/cooking. 📱CURRENT CONTACT PREFERENCES Currently, Alexa is available for texts, but please refrain from phone calls or unexpected visitors. We'll update as her capacity changes. 🎨 CARDS, NOTES & ART Alexa and the boys would prefer cards, notes, and drawings over physical items whenever possible. They’d love to receive messages of support, and the boys especially enjoy seeing artwork and notes that bring some light to their day. Snail Mail is a big hit around here! ➡️ FOR PARENTS OF JAXON & CADEN'S FRIENDS ⬅️ If you're the parent of one of Jaxon or Caden's friends, please reach out to Alexa. Alexa would love for the boys to start slowly seeing their friends again, perhaps for a backyard playdate or a neighborhood park meetup. ❓OTHER IDEAS?
