So many wonderful friends and family have already begun reaching out to help Becky's entire family get through this unimaginable time. That's why we have created this amazing page so you can check in and find out how to help in the way you are most comfortable, whether that be sending funds, meals, helping with daily house tasks, watching the kids and more. In the coming weeks we will be adding specific needs to the care calendar, wish list, and any other ways we will need help. The goal is to spread out these duties over time so that we don't accidentally receive ten meals in one day, for example. It's important now more than ever to make sure the family gets their basic needs met so we can take the time we need to grieve and transition back into our daily routines as quickly as possible. It really does take a village and we appreciate all your help and support in the ways you're most comfortable. Any time a need is posted on the calendar, click "I'll help" in order to commit to a specific task. Again, we thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts for all your love and support.

Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

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

What To Say In Your Card: Please eat something. I am thinking about you.

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?

Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee in the world. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is coffee. We love this gift for that reason, but also because coffee (and tea) can facilitate conversation. People stop and talk over coffee and tea. Barista-made cups of coffee or steaming cups of hot tea are among life's "little" indulgences - the kind of thing that lifts people up. They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan. Maybe we can even meet for a cup? I'd love to know how you are doing and what I can do to be helpful. I send you lots of love.

This gift is perfect and very useful for almost anyone. Kroger is the largest supermarket chain in the United States - so it allows the recipient to choose their own present.
This gift is perfect if you are not sure what grocery stores your loved one has nearby. The Kroger family is huge, including supermarkets like Fred Meyer, QFC, Fry's, Baker's, Food 4 Less, and much, much more. You can be sure your loved one is nearby a Kroger store and has access to what they need.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because we really like things that are convenient. For people on a budget, this is a real concern.
What To Say In Your Card: I wanted to give you a little something that gives you options.

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

Why We Love This Gift: Pets can be so expensive. But so too are they adored. Help a loved one in a pinch by providing necessary food or other pet-related items. This includes grooming and boarding services in many areas - a major help to those in need.
What To Express In Your Card: I know how you have relied on [name of pet] over the course of the last few years. What an ally. I hope this helps to pay for some of the stuff I know you like that sweetie to have. Thinking of you.

Join your neighbors at Applebee's for delicious food, friendly service, and a hometown atmosphere that cannot be beat. From American classics like Applebee's House Sirloin to signature dishes like their Fiesta Lime Chicken, Applebee's is the go-to place for great food and good times.
Why We Love This Gift: Applebee's is suitable for any occasion. Situations in which a meal is a good choice include military spouses coping with a deployed spouse. Buy them a meal to let them know you are thinking of them. Or, those who have lost a loved one may sometimes permit themselves a little comfort and companionship. In such a circumstance, a meal shared is a true and lasting kindness. If the deceased was a breadwinner, the bereaved may be watching the wallet. Enable this person you love to grab a meal - wherever s/he is.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you.

Great food comes first. Every day, more than 11 million guests visit Burger King restaurants around the world, and they do so because their restaurants are known for serving high-quality, great-tasting, fairly priced food.
The original Home of the Whopper, Burger King's commitment to premium ingredients, signature recipes, and family-friendly dining experiences have defined their brand for more than 50 successful years. Give the gift that's always in good taste.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it allows the ability to focus tight on care for a family impacted by a medical crisis. Or, is helpful for a family that has temporarily been forced to evacuate after the loss of their home. Whatever the reason, gifts like this offset the price of feeding oneself or the whole family.
What To Express in Your Card: Please stop for a minute and eat something.
