Welcome to My Personal Page
So, I completely dropped the ball on our Angel One 5k/ 10k walk / fund-raising this year. BUT...I wanted to share should any of you be interested you could still donate!
Angel One is dear to our hearts (along with Arkansas Children's, RMHC of Arkansas, and the Bella Vista FD) for some obvious reasons.
As the event was virtual this year and all of our lives are turned upside down things happened just a little differently. However, the work that Angel One does continues every single day.
The funds raised are used to purchase gift cards which get distributed to families that fly Angel One. While this may seem superfluous those gift cards mean so much to the families receiving them.
The fact that pilot and crew who are flying your baby to life saving medical care are also thinking of the needs of your entire family is overwhelming and incredibly meaningful!
Not to mention when you are hours from home in a crisis (you could have never imagined or planned for) every single dollar makes a huge difference. In our case it meant we could do things like:
*put gas in our car to drive home at the end of the hospital stay;
*get food or coffee or whatever we needed to sustain ourselves so we could stay at Willa's side and be alert when needed;
*purchase hygiene supplies as a 6 day post partum mom who left home without anything (let alone necessary self-care things - I remember asking for a pad after hours in the ER!);
*buy a clean change of underwear and clothes and most especially shoes when you left home barefoot!; and
*buy books to read to our baby and the first toys she ever really got to play with.
Thank you so much for loving us and for your support!
