On April 14, 2025, our lives were turned upside down when Andrew was the victim of a horrific hit-and-run accident that nearly cost him his life. He was left with a severely broken thigh bone, making it difficult for him to walk and leaving him with a long and challenging road to recovery.

As the driver who caused this devastation fled the scene, Andrew is now facing not only immense physical pain and the emotional trauma of this event but also a growing mountain of expenses. He will be unable to work for what doctors anticipate will be several months, creating a significant financial burden for our family.

Adding to our worries, the surgeon has indicated that Andrew may require another surgery in the coming weeks. We are also facing the uncertainty of whether Andrew will ever regain his ability to walk normally again, which has a profound impact on his future and our daily lives.

We are humbly asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Your generous donations will directly alleviate the mounting medical bills, cover numerous doctor appointments, fund the crucial physical therapy he will need for any chance of recovery, help with essential personal bills during his unemployment, and provide for any other unforeseen needs that arise as we navigate this challenging journey.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in Andrew's recovery and help us stay afloat during this crisis. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and support. Please keep Andrew in your thoughts and prayers.

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

Highly breathable, wonderfully cozy, and utterly calming. 
Let's look at how the sleep-loving, kid hugging weighted blanket for kids, the Nappling can help your child:
<ul>
<li>Better sleep: If your child has trouble calming down at nap or bedtime, a Nappling could be just what they need. Weighted blankets provide a natural, soothing tool to help kids settle to sleep easier and bring about deeper, better sleep.</li>
<li>Better focus: A child who is well-rested finds it easier to stay on-task. A weighted blanket can help kids stay focused, which helps them flourish in their academic and social development.</li>
<li>Calmer hearts, minds, and bodies: A weighted blanket can help ease child anxiety. It's a simple, drug-free method that calms a child's anxious thoughts, feelings, and that growing little body.</li>
<li>Treats symptoms of autism and ADHD: Weighted blankets can help children (and adults) with autism or ADHD cope with symptoms of sensory overload and hyperactivity.</li>
</ul>
Why We Love It: We love this gift because, during times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue for children to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet their thoughts and slide into sleep - making it a fantastic gift to parents with children of any age.
What To Express In Your Card: I know how stressful things have been for you and the little one(s). I hope this blanket offers them some solace during times of stress. Please, call me if you need anything else - I love you!
