HOW YOU CAN HELP FINANCIALLY:
- Gift cards to Shop-Rite, A&P or Rite Aid Pharmacy
- Cash donations for medical bills not covered by insurance, co-pays, prescriptions, travel expense, and gas... and to compensate for Joanne’s loss of income. (Christmas is right around the corner!) This will be ongoing throughout her rehabilitation period (the Doc says up to 2 years).
- Gift cards/cash for Christmas gifts for the kids.
- For those who would like to treat the Budd's to dinner, without actually making the meal, you may contribute funds so they can order out from local restaurants. We will supply them with as many menus as we can, so they can order meals to be delivered to their doorstep - especially on the weekends when meals are not being supplied and their schedules will be less predictable due to visiting Joanne. Please make checks payable to Paul Budd, with "dinner" written in the memo. Their mailing address is listed above.
HOW YOU CAN HELP EMOTIONALLY:
- Be positive and full of faith with every conversation you have with Paul, and every time you visit with Joanne.
- Be mindful of your words, especially around children. They have amazing hearing skills and might casually tell the Budd children what they've overheard.
- Fill yourself with scripture, songs and encouragement before you visit and be prepared to lend support every time you are with the Budd family.
- If you need support and encouragement about this for yourself or your family please contact your Pastor, pastoral staff, a close friend or a family member.
- Please do not voice your own fears, concerns and worries at any time to Paul. Chances are, he has already thought of them many times over.
