Ways you can help

Hello Friends,

Thank you for your prayers and support. The next six months are going to be challenging. Jamie will have 20 weeks of chemo (starting Feb. 22), followed by surgery and then radiation. We are grateful for all who have offered to help.

Heather Lee is going to coordinate volunteers (with help from Beth Vaith). You can reach Heather at 360-766-6374 (home), 360-421-7626 (cell) and lee3jh@wavecable.com.

Here are some ways you can help:

Food

With Jamie going through chemo and Todd working, it will be helpful to have prepared meals anytime. We have a chest freezer, so meals can be frozen and will last for a while.

We are trying to eat natural and organic when possible, especially in these areas:

Low-fat, low-sugar foods
Organic fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy
Grass-fed, hormone-free meats

If time is difficult for you—gift cards to grocery stores would be a great way to help.

Transportation

With Ashley playing soccer and the boys playing T-ball, we could use help with transportation.

If you are willing to help, please give Heather your contact info, and days/times that you are available. We will try to set up transportation ahead of time, but it will also be nice to have people we can call on short notice.

Housecleaning

Time will be a premium for all of us, so if anyone wants to help occasionally with basic housecleaning, lawn care, etc; we would be grateful. Just let Heather know, and she’ll find a time that works for you and for us.

Please call or email Heather if you'd like to help out in one of these areas, or if you have something else in mind.

Thank you so much for your love and support!

Todd, Jamie, Ashley, Brady and Cash

  1. I wish there was more we could do for you daily- Know that we love you all and we are praying for you everyday- for healing and strength. We miss you guys so much and seeing the boys as they grow. Although all of us miss you being closer, and it is hard (the boys-just knowing how far you guys are)I am so grateful you are there- God's timing was perfect. We love you and will be here for you if there is anything we can do. About halfway through?? (May 6)the treatment Kay finishes her classes and we are thinking about sending her out to help if she is needed around then and can be a blessing. She can drive,cook, clean, cuddle with Ashley :), and giggle through the night. May only be good for the soul-like sisters can be! Just let me know your thoughts on this at some point and if she can be a blessing for a few weeks or so. We love you guys. Stacey, Clint, Kay, Clinty, & Ky Ky
