Have you ever read a blog post and found yourself smiling or maybe crying? I experienced both yesterday as I read what some of my favorite bloggers were doing for another amazing blogger, QuatroMama of 4tunate.net.
Jen, the lovely author of 4tunate, is a wonderful person. An amazing woman of God. A giver. She’s a joy and inspiration to read, and I’m so thankful that the Atlanta #sisterchicks introduced her to me (via Twitter of course). They had the pleasure of meeting her in person at Blissdom this year. Sadly I did not go to Blissdom, and I have been despondent about that ever since. I have only had the pleasure of reading her posts and tweets. And, I enjoy her immensely. You should check out her blog – seriously.
Unfortunately, Jen has hit a rough patch in her life. She has four three-year-old boys who have all been sick. I can’t imagine four three-year-old boys running around my house can you? She’s been sick. Her extended family is having health issues. It is one of those situations that makes you just want to reach out and hold her and cook for her and help her with the kids and do her laundry. Can you tell I’m a doer? However, Jen doesn’t live anywhere near here or near any of the other #sisterchicks who have adopted her into their group. What to do?
I’ll tell you what the #sisterchicks did. They got organized, and they’re raising money via their blogs to get frozen meals to her and to fill her pantry. Isn’t that AWESOME!!! Like an AMAZING idea! I thought it was so TOTALLY FABULOUS that I had to tell you, my readers about it. You can read about it on any of the #sisterchicks blogs, who are all linking up to each other. OhAmanda has a fabulous picture of Jen so you can see who we’re helping.
That’s right WE’RE helping. As in you and me and whomever else we can get to donate. Just pop on over to OhAmanda and hit the little button to donate. They’re asking for $4 to Help A Mama Out. That’s it. $4. That’s less than a Venti Latte at Starbucks. I know, I’ve bought plenty.
Thanks in advance for your help for this fabulous Mama. Her story just really stirred my heart and made it hurt. I hope it touches yours too.
Awesome post Kat! Thanks so much for joining us in this fun adventure. You are truly a blessing to Jen.
She’s an amazing woman. So thankful to be able to be a part of it.
I really have no idea how to thank you all for this…it’s brought me to tears, it’s made me laugh, it’s make me take a huge deep breath…I’m overwhelmed.
What an absolute encouragement. Thank you so much for joining these sweet sisters.
So thankful to be able to “do” something. Praying that this helps a bit as you go forth!
Thank you so much for posting this and sharing the #4tunate love!
Kathy. You are just the best. I love you!
Kathy!! Thanks for sharing and “doing” something!!
Thank you so much Kathy for being a part of this! So sweet 🙂
So in back in November, between best rest and early delivery, everyone came to my rescue and you have contributed to my freezer MANY times over the past 7 months! So i just sent my donation…Jen, if you read this…you will certainly be in my prayers down here in the very hot ATL! Kinda makes me wish i had a blog to link it to…
