Supporting Helen Phillips and Her Family

Hillsboro, OR

W
Story

Many of you have reached out asking how you can support Helen Phillips during this incredibly difficult time as her husband, Charles, is in hospice care. Helen is one of the strongest people we know, a sheep farming nurse from Tasmania who has spent her life caring for others. But even the strongest among us need support when facing something as profound as losing a spouse. Right now, the most meaningful thing we can do is help give Helen the gift of time so she can be fully present with Charles, without the added weight of daily responsibilities like meal planning and preparation. Because so many of us are outside of Oregon and spread across the country, we have set up a page through Give InKind to coordinate meals and support. Gift cards for food delivery services like DoorDash are likely the easiest option, but if you prefer, you are welcome to choose a date and send a meal. To send a gift card, select a date on the calendar by clicking “I’ll Help,” then choose “Send Gift Card.” You will be shown the available options. Thank you for your kindness and for supporting Helen during this time.
