As many of you know our dear friend, Traci was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis back in December. Since that time she has completed countless infusion treatments, endured many painful tests/procedures (one including being stuck in the eye with a needle for hours WITHOUT pain meds), had a scary tumor removed from her chest through a lengthy surgery at Mayo, has had more nights in the hospital than any of us would like for her, and through all of these hardships, she has maintained her beautiful smile and positive attitude. From what Traci shares some days are better than others, but the treatments and her body are still finding their way to solid recovery. With that being said, many of you know that Traci along with her rockstar hubby, Kent are not ones to ask for help, let alone accept it easily since they are often the ones giving to each of us!!!!!! After a few conversations and pushes by some friends, they have decided that one place we can lend a hand is through an evening meal. We all know that preparing a home cooked meal takes time to gather groceries, the energy to make the meal, and then there is always the “fun” part of cleanup. We figured this was an easy way for us to step in and share a bit of our energy with Traci so she can save hers for what matters most….her family, her recovery, and maybe a even a little downtime for herself!!!! If you are so inclined, please pick an evening you are willing to share a meal with the Van Beeks. We are encouraging anything home cooked, if possible. So let’s rally together and show the Van Beek crew how much we love them….🥰
