On June 24th, our lives changed in an instant. ❤️🩹 My mom suffered a severe stroke after a sudden hypertensive crisis. She spent time in the hospital before being transferred to inpatient rehabilitation, where she has been working incredibly hard every day to regain her strength and independence. The stroke affected the left side of her body, including her dominant arm and hand, and has made many everyday tasks challenging. Despite everything, she has approached recovery with remarkable determination, and we are so proud of the progress she continues to make. As she transitions home, our family is rallying around her and for the time being she will be staying with us (Joel, Rach, & Ryan). Between therapy appointments, caregiving, work, and helping her adjust to this new chapter, meals are one of the biggest ways you can lighten the load. If you're able to provide a meal or a DoorDash gift card, it would allow us to spend less time worrying about dinner and more time focusing on what matters most: supporting my mom as she heals. Thank you for your love, prayers, encouragement, and generosity. Every act of kindness reminds us that we are not walking this journey alone. 🫶
Thank you so much for supporting our family during my mom's recovery. Your kindness means more than we can express. Dietary Preferences: My mom is recovering from a stroke, so we're focusing on heart-healthy meals that align with a Mediterranean-style diet whenever possible. Think lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, beans, healthy fats (like olive oil), and lighter meals. She doesn't have any food allergies and isn't a picky eater. Favorite Options: Mediterranean, Greek, healthy bowls, grilled chicken or fish, soups, salads, and other fresh, nourishing meals are all wonderful choices. Restaurants We Enjoy: CAVA, Luna Grill, Panini Kabob Grill, Mendocino Farms, Urban Plates, California Fish Grill, The Kebab Shop, or any local restaurant with healthy options. Gift Cards: DoorDash gift cards are especially appreciated since they allow us to order whatever best fits her needs and appetite that day. They also give us flexibility around appointments and changing schedules. Thank you again for helping lighten the load during this season. Your generosity allows us to spend more time focused on my mom's recovery, and we are deeply grateful. 🙏
