During November, my mom's neighbor went to a catholic church in Burlington who has a program called "Heartbeat". Its for pregnant woman who have little or nothing. They help with food, clothes, diapers, wipes, formula, baby food. Its an amazing program I've learned. She told them all about us and they wanted to help. They sent along a huge bag of clothes for Grace. At Thanksgiving time they called us and told us they had food for us. We went and picked up all the fixings for a turkey dinner, and then some.
They called again recently, during all that car drama. They had more food for us. So my mom and I went off to get it one day after radiation. Imagine my HUGE surprise when she brings out a big bag of toys, books and clothes for my daughter. They also had 3 big bags of food and a ham for us. I sat there and cried. I had nothing under the tree for my daughter. It was her first Christmas and her mommy couldn't afford to get her gifts. So while I still can't afford to buy her anything, she now has more presents under the tree than anyone else we know. We can never thank these people enough.
Be well.
