Ways to Help

Thanks so much from K&J and their families for the huge outpouring of support. I'm getting more calls and emails every day and our group is growing! One of the best ways we can help all of them right now is by being sensitive to how overwhelmed they are and to give them the space, breathing room they need.

Here's some *business:*

**Karyn is unable to receive flowers due to the sensitivities of the other patients on her floor. Notes can be sent directly to their home. 66 Willow, Fairfax, CA 94930.

**Regarding meals...I am going to start a schedule and give it to the family for approval. The rules will be that the meal should be dropped off on the porch (with no expectation for a visit) by 4:30pm on the day you are signed up for. If possible, please provide it in a dish that does not need to be returned (sorry, mother earth...until they have more time, we don't want them worrying about this...we promise to recycle as much as possible).

OR If you want to make your meal now, freeze it and/or bring it to my house, I'll store anything in our extra freezer and drop it on a day that needs to be filled.

Please send me the following info:
A) the meal (preferably kid and adult friendly)
B) the day you want to drop it off (as early as today)

**Hopefully we'll be able to set up a schedule to visit Karyn. More info to come on that. Hang tight. I know we're all chomping at the bit to get to her.

**Some things already in the works:

• We're getting Aidan & Kiki's normal Kindermusic routine going again on Fridays.


• Aidy's having his normal Wednesday playdate after school today.


• Aidy's school community is starting to hear of the news and moms there are joining us.

ON another note: we are all super energized right now. Some of us (me, possibly?) have become obsessed with doing as much as we possibly can. We all need this outlet to deal right now, and I know we each need to feel connected to K&J right now (we are! They feel us!), but please don't neglect yourselves or your own families...Karyn will be pissed to hear about it if you do. :)
