This page is designed to support our wonderful Vidoni Crew while Sara is home leading the household and John is away serving our country. And many in this village have asked how best to support -- so we are putting this together to make it easy for everyone to engage, send positive messages and stay up to date. And of course, Sara is known for her heroics and her ability to navigate far more than the average human, but anything we can do to help lighten her load during the year ahead is deeply appreciated. Sara’s evenings are often filled with ball diamonds, sports parks, piano lessons, swim practice, and all the activities her littles are involved in, so gift cards are often more helpful than evening meals delivered, as they give her the flexibility to plan around a very full schedule. Although, no one will turn away a little fun meal to create or have to pull out of the freezer when needed. Here are some especially meaningful ways to help: Gift cards for DoorDash or local restaurants Starbucks (we all know caffeine will be an essential support ☕) Fun little shopping experiences or treats to reward the kids A hotel night for a staycation Laundry services Grocery gift card or a delivery which can be coordinated directly with Sara A Venmo contribution intended for an afternoon or evening just for her Every thoughtful gesture—big or small—means more than you know. Thank you for rallying around this amazing family.
The Vidonis also love supporting a local teen in their neighborhood who helps watch the kids when Sara needs some time to herself—or one‑on‑one time with one of the kiddos. So for those asking how to cover a sitter, rather than care.com or other babysitting services, feel free to venmo Sara to cover those expenses. And of course, if you happen to be in the DC / Alexandria area, Sara and the kids would absolutely love a visit now and again.
