Dear Friends and Family 🫶🏻

As many of you know, my mom, Dessie has been undergoing multiple surgeries, including a total knee replacement on November 4, and will require ongoing care and assistance as she recovers. Due to her medical condition, shes unable to prepare meals or manage everyday tasks independently at this time. Since she cannot freely move around. 
She’s not able to walk with out a wheel chair right now 
Medical Background
	•	Dessie is recovering from a major knee surgery and has significant joint issues that make standing, walking, and moving around very difficult. Her left knee is severely damaged, causing chronic pain and limiting her ability to walk or do daily activities, 
	•	She also has to have both of her hips replaced which is also adding to her mobility 
	
Because of these health challenges, Dessie is unable to prepare her own meals and unable to drive to the store for groceries. Your kindness in helping by providing meals would greatly support her recovery and allow her to focus on healing  ❤️

If you would like to contribute to the meal train, please sign up for a date that works for you 🥰 The meal can be dropped off at 2282 Alder st Milton WA 98354 or coordinated with me for easy access.

Thank you for your love and support during this time 💕

Sincerely,
Hailey McDaniel 💕

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 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
