A Community of Caring

Tracy, a valued member and vendor over at Clickinmoms tragically lost her son to complications from the H1N1 virus this morning. Like most of us who don't think it will ever happen, this family is not equipped to handle the extraordinary costs of a funeral. However this is Nate, their 4 year old who has every right to go peacefully and receive the same respect and dignity as anyone else without regard to financial hardship. If you can help, please do whether by sending messages of support or making a $5, $10 or whatever you feel you can give to help offset the costs so Tracy and her family may bury their baby with every dignity he deserves. Just click the title and you'll be at OTSS where donations are graciously being accepted.

This is so sad. I have been complaining all weekend about being sick, and my husband not having a job and various other things and then I come here and read this and I realize hoe very lucky I am that my family is alive and well. I wasn't able to donate much but I hope it helps in some small way. This family will be in my prayers. So very sad.

Saw your post on FB and have felt so sad for your friend. It hits a little too close to home for the rest of us, too. Sorry.

What a tragedy. One of Lindsi's classmates has H1N1 now & this child is severly compromised with a deaf / blind / muscle syndrome. Literally the last thing they need to be dealing with right now.

How sad.....It hits too close to home.
