Support those in Newtown, CT
As I mentioned in my last post, the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut area has burdened me greatly.While I deal with high schoolers at my church weekly, I have always had a heart for small children as well. As soon as I heard about this horrific ordeal, I knew in my heart that I wanted to do something to help. But what?
I logged onto the computer and saw that my friend, Amber at Damask Love, was also burdened for this community and wanted to do something. I immediately contacted her and asked what she had in mind. While there are so many different ways we can help, I wanted to “team-up” (for lack of a better word) with her and join her idea. Amber is a pediatric psychologist and has an understanding with how to help children dealing with grief and difficult situations. After hearing her idea, I immediately jumped on board and am going to do everything I can to help.
Amber did a great job describing exactly what this specific cause will do, so I’m just going to direct you to her blog- CLICK HERE to view the direct post with all the details.
You all know I don’t ask for much from you– however, whatever you can do to help this cause, I urge you to. Whether it’s donating financially, sending cards, or sending supplies for this cause, we each can help in sharing our love to those in Connecticut.
While I know our words cannot erase the pain and grief, our thoughts & prayers and these actions of love will at the very least show them others are standing behind them. We are grieving with them. We are behind them.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or you can contact Amber at her blog. Thank you, sweet friends, for spreading the word and supporting this cause……
So glad you are teaming up with Amber. Feeling very helpless here, as others are… it’s nice to have a way to contribute during times of tragedy.
