Friends and Strangers

I must say that I am overwhelmed by the outpowering of help and love that we have recieved through this difficult time. I am not at all good at asking for help but through this I am learning people want to help in some way and I have to let them because lets face it, Bruce and I can not do all of this on our own!

Through the facebook posts and an onine scentsy sale of our friend Jamie Conn our lives were touched by strangers. Jamie's husband Jeremy was in the same unit as Bruce at Fort Hood. Although it has been years since we have seen them and both of our families have grown we have kept in touch with each others lives through facebook. When Jamie found out about our situation she approached me and asked if she could do an online scentsy sale in Case's honor. By her doing this a friend of hers saw our story and she approached The VA and Ladie's Auxiliary in Columbia Station, OH who both sent us monetary donations to help with our medical bills. Of course this is huge for our family right now. Then seeing Jamie's facebook posts about the Scentsy sale a former soldier of Bruce's, Chase Butler, sent an email to the Carolina Panther's about Case. They sent us an autographed football, a sideline cap signed by Greg Olsen, a youth size hat, and a shirt. We also have a very inspirational letter from their coach. Greg Olsen has twin boys that were born in October one of which has HLHS like Case. It was a very awesome package to open!!

There have been so many people that have helped us in the past couple of months. Whether it be by food, gift cards, babysitting, prayers, thoughts, visits or just listening we want you all to know every single one of you has been appreciated. Thank you all for being in our lives and keeping up to date with our Case.
