As most of you know, Mom and Dad's (Phyllis and Al's) home of 53 years, was lost on November 6th in the California Mountain Fire.  This home was where they built their lives and family. It was the place of our childhood memories, countless family holidays, reunions, BBQ's, and gatherings. Mom and Dad hosted bible studies and ministered to so many people in this home. 
 Our home was truly a home to ALL! It was a light on a hill and a sanctuary of peace. 
Thankfully,  Mom and Dad were evacuated safely and are doing well! The home was destroyed in the fire, however their beautiful yard remains and by a miracle of God, their wedding album and a few other treasured items were spared. They remain grounded in their faith in God and thankful to everyone that has reached out to provide  guidance, support, donations and help as they navigate the beginning stages of rebuilding their lives and home.
 Mom and Dad have found a temporary rental home and we hope to have them moved in by November 19th. 
They remain positive, joyful and grateful every day. We know God is literally bringing beauty from the ashes! 
To all the wonderful family, friends, neighbors, community and church families at New Life and SCF, our family doesn't have the words to express our deep gratitude. So many have reached out to support Mom and Dad after the fire. We are so touched by your  prayers, sincere concern, generosity and help navigating so many decisions each day!
To the many families in our neighborhood community that were affected by the fires, we extend our heartfelt condolences for your loss, as well as our prayers. 
To the firefighters and first responders that helped evacuate Mom and Dad and even went above and beyond to grab some of our family photos before the house burned, thank you!!! 
This brought us joyful tears.  From the bottom of our hearts, our family thanks you! 💗

Organizing solutions. Explore new methods to organize any room. Customize your space.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because families need space and ways to organize things. For a family who is downsizing, folks who are moving - and lots more - the ability to get (and stay) organized is a day that entropy does not win. This is a great gift for someone who needs to move for professional reasons or to meet new opportunities. This is also a good gift for a aging relative who may wish to consolidate.  It is useful also for new parents because offices turn nicely into nurseries. Bottom line? Storage bins are always useful.
What To Express in Your Card: I'd love to come and help you get down to work. Eager to catch up and sending love.

Why We Love This Gift: Nordstrom's is old-style elegant department store shopping at your doorstep (with an actually easy exchange policy). It is a splurge. It is great for anyone. It is especially great in certain situations, including breast cancer and surgery. Nordstrom also has an excellent breast prosthesis fitting program. Help a woman you love post-operatively. When divorce is recent, money tends to be short even while divorce necessitates a new wardrobe - for work, or for life.
What To Express in Your Card: I am here with you. I thought you might need something new. I can come shopping with you if you are up for the company.

Expect great things when you shop Kohls for apparel, shoes, accessories, home products, and more!
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it provides quality home goods at attractive prices. Following the loss of a house to fire or flood, most people will find themselves underinsured. It is hard to remember all that is lost when it is consumed in a traumatic event.  This is also a nice gift for someone housebound due to illness - it can provide just a little freshening up, new sheets, a fluffy pillow. For the newly divorced, setting up another household is an expensive proposition. Lighten their load.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I help?
