Dear Friends and Family,

We are overjoyed to share that little Miss Emilia is finally home from the NICU. She arrived earlier than expected and needed some additional time under medical care to continue developing. Thankfully, she is now thriving and growing beautifully—just what we had all hoped for.

Due to her extended hospital stay, Damian had to use much of his time off to be at the hospital, supporting Alli and ensuring Emilia was seldom alone. This time was originally intended to help ease the transition at home as they adjusted to life with two children.

To support Alli and Damian during this new chapter—especially as Damian returns to work—we would love to help provide a few convenient, easy meals for their family in the coming weeks. If you’d like to contribute to a virtual meal train by purchasing a gift card, it would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much for your continued love and support. We’re incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful community surrounding this growing family.

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.
