Along the way, Heather and I hear from many people. Some of them become our friends along the way, and people we truly care about. So when they write us and tell us of a tragedy that is affecting their lives, it affects ours as well. Our dear PIOB friend, Tammy wrote recently to tell us that a friend had her home burn completely to the ground. She has four children aged 9-12 years old. There is a set of 9 year old twin boys, a 10 year old boy and a 12 year old girl. They lost everything. Thank God that everyone is safe, but now there are obvious real concerns that they are now facing. The mother stated that her first and foremost concern are clothes for the family, as they simply don't have any. If you are in a position to send along older boys clothes or smaller juniors/womens sizes - please let us know. If you aren't, but may know someone who is, please pass along the message. As Memorial Day is upon us, so many of us are opening our homes for cookouts and parties, celebrating family and friends. Take a moment to reflect what the day might mean without the security of a home....
Happy Memorial Day, friends and thank you to all who have served and the many who have sacrificed their lives defending our home.
In love and kindness,
Email Elizabeth & Heather
