Fund for Jewleyn

Carrieland

Hi Ladies,

 I was touched by the story that lawbaby posted yesterday.  I have made a donation myself and found this post on their board today.  I offered to paste it here so that they wouldn't have to.

As many of you know, our fellow nestie and dear friend, Jewelyn, passed away on Sunday, September 27th due to an amniotic fluid embolism, just hours after giving birth to her first child, Gabrielle.

Gabrielle is doing well and will be released from the NICU this week.

Jewelyn's husband, Philip, is going to need all the help he can get over the coming months and years.

A PO Box has been set up to receive formula checks and diaper coupons.  Any and all brands will be accepted, and whatever Philip doesn't use will be donated to the Liz Logelin Foundation.

Formula checks and diaper coupons can be sent to:

Jewelyn Okamoto Memorial Fund

PO Box 235971

Encinitas, CA 92023-5971

Thanks for posting Carrie. Although things are tough financially for me, I will participate and help in any way that I can.

my donation was small, so don't feel like you have to give anything you can't afford.  Also, it seems like they really want coupons, so if you can give those, that would be an incredible help.

Thanks for posting this here Carrie. Every little bit helps, I'll do what I can.

It's so unbelievably sad what has happened to this poor girl. You really can't take life for granted and need to enjoy every day you have here. I'd love to donate a little something, but am not sure what the best way to do it is? What did you girls do?

Carrie, thank you for posting this. I'll need to go through all my coupons, I know I have so many of them. I'm still so sad about this!
