VanOcker Baby #4 care-calendar through “give.in.kind” has been created to allow friends &amp; family to be a village for Kaitlin &amp; Kris as they welcome their new baby. 

Everyone’s needs can vary postpartum in terms of what kind of support is helpful or most wanted. This type of “Meal Train” still allows the family to ask for meals but also provides other ways for them to custom request support such as social visits, groceries, offer to clean, give mom/Dad a nap etc. Any and all help appreciated.

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

What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about how much you have to do - work, kids. How is your mom doing living independently?
