Ways to Help

The outpouring of support from all of the Lynch’s friends has been heartwarming. A few of us are trying to coordinate the efforts of all of you that want to help. Kerri and Joey may be too busy to ask for help when they need it, so here are some people you can contact that will extend your offers of help to them:

MEALS: Shelley Burgess has offered to store meals in her freezer and give them to Kerri and Joey when they need them. Her number is 735-5731 or e-mail at spalmerburgess@yahoo.com .

FOOD: Joanne Awalt will be helping with grocery shopping/cooking. If you have fresh food you would like to give them (we love veggies from an organic garden!), you can call Joanne at 843-5960 or 944-3301, or e-mail her at livestrong03@wildblue.net .

ERRANDS, RIDES, VISITING: If you have time on your hands you would like to offer, contact Bronwen Pierson and she will make sure your offer gets passed on. Her number is 479-3777 or e-mail at btpierson@roadrunner.com .

Kerri and Joey are going to try to follow the most nutritional diet that they can. Of course, Cameron and Caleb will appreciate any home cooking, but here are some of the foods that Kerri and Joey like that will be beneficial to their recovery:

Whole grains like brown rice and barley, whole grain pastas, soups, lasagna, shrimp, scallops, chicken, beans, mushrooms, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, avocados, yellow, green, red, yellow peppers, onions, garlic, shallots, green onions, beet greens, fiddleheads, swiss chard, squash, summer squash, zucchini, nuts, fruit. Basically, keep the meat to a minimum, and stay away from the “white” stuff like white flour and sugar. Organic food is going to be the best for them while they are recovering.

Thank you so much for trying to make the next several months as comfortable for the whole family as possible.
