Story
There is a quote I believe is most helpful as we figure out how to help Tricia and her children, "Don’t ask a grieving person what they need; it’s another thing for them to have to think about. Instead, offer specific help or support." TJ was a loving father and husband sharing his life with Tricia Harwell, who many of us consider a treasured friend. Together, TJ and Tricia had a beautiful family. In this time of profound loss, Tricia and her children need our support more than ever. As we come together as a community, we have set up this "give in kind" page to offer our help and solidarity. If you wish to use "give in kind" to lend your support any gifts will go directly to Tricia and her children and their beautiful dogs and cats. Whether through contributions of essentials, services, or other forms of support, your generosity will make a meaningful difference in their lives as they navigate this difficult period. Let’s honor TJ’s memory by extending our care and compassion to Tricia and her family. Your kindness and support will not go unnoticed and will be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and for coming together in this time of need.
Special Notes
As Tricia and her family are navigating this difficult time, we want to ensure that their needs are met in the most practical way possible. Given that they live in a somewhat rural area, gift cards will be especially helpful. This will provide them with the flexibility to purchase essentials and manage day-to-day needs without the added stress of shopping. At this time of year, reducing the burden of everyday necessities can significantly ease their grieving process. If you are able to contribute, your support will be greatly appreciated and will make a meaningful difference for Tricia and her family. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
