"We have a special post today. Our dear friend Christy's home was broken into and a lot of their things were either destroyed or taken. Some things held such sentimental value that nothing will replace it. What makes our community so remarkable is that we are there for each other even though we can't physically be near our friends. These "people" violated her home, the place where we are supposed to feel the most safe, where we raise our children and where we sleep in peace. I can not even imagine what she is going thru or the loss she has endured. Dealing with the police and insurance company has been and continues to be exhausting and frustrating for Christy and her family. She has been updating her facebook page with some details.
Some of Christy's friends have come together to help. We are of course making cards for her because that's what we do, right? But ultimately, the expense of trying to get her family back on their feet will be somewhat of a strain. Imagine having to replace household items, necessities in our world all while trying to rebuild a sense of security that we all most times take for granted.
So, we're asking for your help. We've tried to make it convenient for you to help Christy and her family. There's a PayPal button on each of our blogs. We are asking that if its your hearts desire, that you donate whatever you can to help Christy and her family regain a sense of safety and security. NOTHING is too small. Every little bit will make all the difference. Our goal is to raise $1,000 to help cover the costs of food, lodging and replacing at least some of the items taken.
Thank you for even reading this post in its entirety.
If you're interested in seeing all of the cards, a full list of girls who are participating in the card drive is available at the Lawnscaping Challenge blog & A Blog Named Hero"
**On a personal note...I don't know Christy personally or professionally but her story tugged at my heart. I can't imagine what she and her family are going through. I just had to help in any way I could. I hope you can help too.**

Thank you so much, Michelle, for participating in this outpouring of love and support toward myself and my family. I can't tell you what this means to us. You girls have restored out faith in the goodness of people. We love and appreciate you all!
...so heart breaking!! I read about this and was so happy to see that ABNH started the fundraiser! I'm honored and proud to have sent in a donation for her today!!
I hope they raise a lot of money and while I know it can't bring back her awful losses...I hope it can help her and her family keep up with the expenses and start fresh!
God Bless! :)
Thanks for participating in our Operation Michelle!
