Answer to Requests
Whether this is your first time here, or you are here every day - thank you for coming. After much family discussion and prayerful consideration we are opening up another vulnerable area of our family life......to you.... our real life and online friends, family, supporters and those who have chosen to follow the recovery process of Caren.
Many of you have asked directly, or wondered how you can help. The "Donations" button in the top bar of this site and has just been added to Caren's page, or the link that led you to this site - will spell out the allocation of those donations, and how they will be applied, and how you can help more directly, quickly, and confidentially. We will change the needs in that bar as her needs are attained and goals are reached. This is for sure a labor of love and we appreciate all you can do..
We are in the process of taking steps to make it possible to have a dedicated bank account set up just for such donations. We will keep you informed, here on this site when that becomes available for those that choose to use a Debit/Credit card. We are also going this route so we can track and have accountability with receipts attached for each donation to show how it was utilized. In the meantime, we have also listed an address to send personal or business checks or guaranteed funds to (such as a cashier's check from the bank) in the Donation area above. Please do not send money orders.
We will also continue to keep you informed of the progress and how your donations assisted Caren in this journey to recovery. .
If you are unable to send a Donation. You are valued no less. Your presence here, your prayers, comments, your support, are just as valuable and just as impactful. We thank you for staying with us through all of this and hope we can inspire others through opening our hearts and experiences to you, and in our worldly community, as well. Please pass this link on to others you know. Perhaps they themselves, or someone they know may be helped or touched by the posts within these pages.
You can also use the same address listed under the "DONATION" bar to send cards. letters, or positive comments to Caren. These will be given to her directly.
Again, thank you, and remember HOPE is Helping One Person Excel.

jUST WONDERING---DID YOU GET OUR EASTER CARD----??
At first I couldn't remember Easter at all, then mom reminded me that is when Rick and the kids were coloring eggs at the table in our bedroom so I could be a part of it. Then I remembered them coloring the eggs once she mentioned it. I asked Rick and he said yes and says thank you. We have not had the money/ time to get stamps yet, but am planning on sending thank you cards to those who have helped so far with food or other ways.....
don't worry about it --a card is not needed----just work on getting better----
HOPE = Helping One Person Excel.......this begins with myself so I can get better and keep helping others but on a bigger scale :) ,,,,but reducing my stress first is important too and there are little ways and big ways to do that..........one moment and one day at a time
