Children left behind after mom crashes into Bay

[organicmama]

To reiterate a little of what momof2kids wrote:

Sonja has a truck with a bad transmission. It's not big enough or safe enough to tote the 4 kids around. They need a minivan or SUV ASAP. She cannot get them back and forth to school or to all the appts they now have to attend to with the transportation they have.

They are living in a tiny home in Blue Mountain Beach. It's not enough for all of them to live in. All the kids are in the same room at this point. If anyone has any connections to Habitat for Humanity, she's really interested in working with them. She really, really wants to stay in the area because of needing stability for the kids and she wants them to have a home that they can grow up in and a safe environment to live. These kids have gone through a lot in their very short lives.

They still owe $600.00 in funeral expenses. It's due by the 18th of January. Plus, they could not afford a headstone, as it was $1100.00. These are simple dignities that need to be taken care of.

Can we get help with these things ASAP? Thanks so much!

This is a quote that I got in my email inbox this morning. It pretty much sums up what this is all about. Hope each of you had a very Merry Christmas and are having a wonderful Holiday season!

"You know that feeling when a relationship goes stale?

The likely reason is you are receiving without sharing. This results in stagnation. Just as trapped water becomes putrid, so does Light become stagnant when its flow is blocked. There is nothing wrong with receiving ? we?re supposed to receive; but if there is no sharing, then what we receive is limited and unfulfilling.

Today, share love. Share time. Share friendship. Just share."

I will forward this information to some who are Walton County Habitat board members. Hopefully I can find out something and will let you know.

This kinda reminds me of the movie "Pay it Forward"? In a good way. Invest in the future of these young kids and see what kind of foundation "We" have provided as strangers wanting to make a positive difference. This is very good seeing the kindness of a community local as well as extended. "The future is not ours to see" a quote from a song of long ago, But we sure can plant the seeds! Long term help is needed here. Not just a quick fix.

ITA. Thanks for all your help in this.

I have learned that the rough times in life give us the grace to be able to truly help others when they are in need. We cannot appreciate the blessings if we do not also feel the stress of our own burdens.

May we be able to help these kids and this family in coming out of this so that they can have better lives, but also so that they may bless the lives of others.

I don't want Shanna's struggles to make a better life for her kids be in vain.
