Right when Jason was diagnosed we recieved a lot of generous offers to help us from family, friends, our church and KWWL. People were asking us what they could do to help us through this journey. After a lot of brainstorming, Jason and I narrowed it down to three categories:
1. Food
2. Lawncare (Just ask my dad Jeff why I don't mow...he'll tell you)
3. Childcare
KWWL and our church, Cedar Valley Community Church took these three categories and lined up volunteers. Thanks to their support we receive one meal a week, someone to mow our lawn once a week, and a list of volunteers to watch Julia if we need some time away.
All these seemingly small tasks add up to a huge help to our family. That one meal a week we don't have to worry about, gives our family a chance to slow down and relax a little. It's also fun to chat with the people who have worked so hard to prepare it. And the lawncare...has been awesome.
Thank you to all our volunteers, your generous gift of time has been the greatest gift of all!
