I'm sure that anyone who reads this blog (all 3 of you) knows about my friend, Rachael, and the loss of her son, Tripp just three weeks ago. As i've mentioned before, this has absolutely affected me in a way i never imagined. I still cry for them. Daily. My heart continues to ache for them.
And i also want to find a way to continue to celebrate Tripps life.
Several of us "blog mom's" have come up with an idea that we will be seeing to fruition in the next few weeks... We are wanting to keep the actual gift a surprise, but we know that there are tons of people who might would want to give in on this gift. And we'd love for everyone who has been praying for the Copponex family to have the opportunity to be a part of this. So we've set up a site through pay-pal to allow people to donate as the Lord leads. Even if you just want to give $5 or $10... every little bit will help us reach our goal. Make no mistake about it... our goal will be reached and this gift will be given regardless of if anyone else gives. So theres no pressure. But we just know that the more people's names that we have to add to the card, the bigger the effect. We want Rachael and Greg to have this card (that will go with the gift) to have to look back on years from now and read all of the names of people who they may or may not have known who felt compassion and wanted to love on them through this time.
Will you join us?! If you would like to do so, please click on the donate button on the side of my page (at the top) and make a donation of any size. Then, please leave me a comment letting me know a personal way of reaching you (email, phone #... whatever) so that i can fill you in on the exact gift :-) Surprises are so much more fun and we would love for this to be a GREAT surprise for the Copponex family.
So please consider loving on this family through this gift. And please know that Rachael and Greg have been so moved by every friend and strangers kind words and prayers.
Thank you all!
