Thank you for taking the time to come to this page and considering support.

On Tuesday the Dec. 31st, Emily was hospitalized at Georgetown University Hospital Center. She was unable to use her legs and was experiencing weakness in her arms. Over the next week, she was treated there, numerous tests were run to attempt to diagnose the reasoning for her hospitalization. Ultimately,  the Dreibelbis family has been left with with no answers. While Emily has regained some function, and is now medically stable, she has gone home with a wheelchair and a walker. Modifications to their house and their life are numerous. We do not know if/when things will improve. While Em is on a modified diet due to inability to swallow normal foods we are asking for help with meals for the family and giftcards for the special food items for her.

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

Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.

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

Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.
For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.
Why We Love This Gift: Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I be most helpful?
