We are honored and blessed at all of the offers for help. This post is our answer to requests for our specific needs. Thank you to everyone who already have been praying for us, sent us cards, made us meals, mowed our lawn. You have enabled us to care for and love our baby better.
FOOD:
(Many Recipes are brand specific so if you see a brand name it has to be that brand)
Unsalted Butter
Jell-O Brand Sugar Free Prepared Jell-O cups
Oscar Mayer Bacon
Macademia Nuts (staple of many recipes)
(all of the other foods we need are easily perishable or require detailed explanations of packaging and label reading).
Other:
Cotton make up remover pads. (We put these in his diaper to test his urine for ketones).
Size 4 Pampers Diapers. (We are officially putting off potty training for a while)
Treats for Mom and Dad:
Wendy’s gift cards
Starbucks gift cards
General needs:
Quick Trip Gas Cards (We received one in the mail and it literally made me cry!) We are doing lots of extra driving between doctor, hospital visits and last minute trips to various stores for supplies
Walmart gift cards. (Thankfully the majority of Gabriels’ staple foods are available for purchase at Walmart)
Thanks for the sharing your needs! I love that you are willing to do that.
thanks anna. It is really hard for me to ask for help without feeling selfish. I am learning to rely on others.
Amy and Chuck,
I so admire what you are doing for your little guy! What awesome parents God chose for Gabriel.
Our Disciple 2 class ha been praying daily for all of you.
Our oldest daughter, Rebecca Tackett Dyro, now 38 and mom of 3, was born with a heart defect, had surgery at 4 years of age and then last January 7,2011 had her aorctic arch reconstructed at Mayo for 2 aneurysms-my husband and I know all too well what it is to have a child with serious health issues. God only chooses the most faithful and long-suffering to be his examples for others.
Blessings to both of you.
I do need your address so we can send things to you,please.
As ever,
Pat
