On May 20, 2024 our home was destroyed due to an electrical fire. We were immediately displaced and were told all of our belongings were damaged by fire, smoke, soot or water and that repairs will take 6+ months to complete. This has been a very difficult time for our family as we have a 4 year old in preschool and a newborn baby (4 months). Trying to keep a sense of normalcy for our children as we navigate this huge life changing event, has been one of the most difficult challenges we have encountered as parents thus far however, we are thankful for our lives and have faith that we will rebuild and come out on the other side of this. 

When asked “what do you need” or “what can I do to help” we struggle with how to answer so we created this page so you can give whatever your heart desires. Our family appreciates any and everything we receive; every thing helps! 

We are thankful to the angels in our lives who have donated, bought things for the kids, given us a place to stay, prepared meals and checked in on us. Your kindness and generosity means the world to our family. 

Please pray for us as we get through this. Thank you all so much and God bless!

On Airbnb, you can book unique places to stay from local hosts anywhere in the world. Explore over one million homes in over 34,000 cities.
Find a place that inspires you - whether it's for your next family vacation or a necessary (and not always anticipated) trip. Airbnb is a travel portal like no other because, with it, you can find one-of-a-kind places to stay in more than 190 nations worldwide.
Airbnb provides trusted services to find unique listings in private residences and has a messaging system to connect hosts and guests, as well as a secure platform to transfer payments using their app. See how far your dreams can take you and your friends when you give AirBnB Gift Cards!
Why We Love This Gift: Honestly, sometimes, permission to take a trip can be hard. Equally, sometimes expensive travel is necessary. One of the editors of Give InKind met a recently widowed woman who "confessed" (her word) to wanting to escape after the death of her husband following a long illness. She felt she could not justify the expense of a trip. Another family we have met along the way needed a place to stay while visiting a medical specialist far away from their home. People who lose their homes to natural disasters or as a result of financial strain need a place to stay. Lodging is an expensive component to any unforeseen circumstance. Remember to ask: where are you staying?
What To Say In Your Card: I know that the expense of travel is significant. I hope you don't mind my trying to offset some of it.

Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.
For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.
Why We Love This Gift: Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I be most helpful?

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

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo
