Tami has been placed on hospital bed rest. The goal is to get her to 32 weeks. Eric will need to keep working and also manage all the other aspects of home, school, etc.  We need hands on deck. Eric has a huge legal case he is working on and his time is limited. 

We are looking for meals to help the family while Tami is in the hospital and beyond, after baby has made it earth-side.

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!

Every office needs supplies. (So do homes - history projects - say, mapping the Oregon Trail, that bright red toner cartridge, and an emergency glue stick stash). Make sure to cover the needs of your favorite office or home office.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it's the little expenses that kill you. Science fair materials add up. A beloved charitable organization can put more into program when they have enough ink toner, copy paper, and more. So lend a hand and send a card.
What To Express In Your Card: I am thinking about you! Keep on going!

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.
