T&P Needed

A mutual friend of mine lost her husband this past tuesday. He was an Army Ranger and during patrol a roadside bomb exploded killing him and some of his fellow soldiers. She just gave birth 3 weeks ago to her beautiful daughter, sadly 2 weeks after he deployed so he never got to meet her. Some friends have set up a donation site, if you are feeling a little generous today any small donation would help. They are hoping to use the money raised to provide some services to help out with everyday tasks, such as a gift card to get some groceries delivered or for someone to come and clean the house, things that I am sure become to much to handle on top of dealing with her loss and raising 3 babies. She also has 2 adorable sons. I completely understand if you don't feel compelled to donate, just send some happy thoughts her way.

Thank you!

Re: T&P Needed

  • A girl on the NorCal board posted about this same family the other day.  It's so sad and such a tragedy.  I guess she was friends with the wife.  The family is definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
  • Yep same family. I am good friends with the girl that posted it over there, we were actually college roommates and it was her best friend and I obviously know her through my old roommate. Such a sad story
  • I'm so so sorry for you and your friend.  He truly is a hero.  That poor family.  I can't even imagine. 
  • That is so terrible. I am so sorry. My heart goes out to his wife and their baby. What a tragic story.
  • I'm so sorry to hear this!!! T&P definitely headed their way.

  • I also contributed a few dollars to help them out - thanks for posting this. I hope they get all they need.

  • How awful. I am so sorry for their loss. My brother is in the Army and actually at Ranger school as I type this. I can't think of anything more horrible to have happen, ever in your life, but so soon after a child is born.
  • What a tragedy.  My heart goes out to your friend and her family.  Sad

     

  • Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers with your friend and her family. This type of news makes me appreciate the work my husband does even more - he works on simulators mostly for the military and one recent big job was for training on armored vehicles that identify roadside bombs.
