"Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, His wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven." Psalm 107:23-30

Blessing R

For those of you here looking to bless R, after researching all the ways the loopers could compile together to help her, and then speaking to a looper who's husband was in contact with R's pastor, it seems the best way to help her right now is through personal individual cards through the mail. Any support you can add to that card, I am sure, would be of great use to her in caring for her children. The address has been sent out through loopers, if you need it and missed that email, please email out your request and either myself or The Mama will respond.

    What about through her church? I know that when a friend here lost her husband people made donations through the church for their family. Also, if the money could officially go to the children, that would probably help with any tax implications.

    Melanie I sent you a couple emails about this and there is a suggestion for Kickstarter that I just heard of too but I haven't looked into them myself.

    What about through their local bank? When a member family lost their father, the local bank set up a college fund for the girls to which anyone could donate. Guess it depends on what the needs of the family are: immediate or long-term. Just another option.

    I am going to email everyone her address. I have spoken to someone who has contact with her pastor and the best way to help right now is through private cards with checks. Please please do this and help in any way you can!
