Thank You for Your Support: How to Help Us

Help.  Such a simple word but it can be, at times, so hard to say and even harder to ask for it. 

Before I share some ways to help us, I need to acknowledge this community.  You have shown up and keep showing up for us.  I am deeply moved by all the help and generosity this community, this village, has wanted to give me and my family.  From family and close friends, to colleagues and networking connections, from our school community and to those of you I have connected with through The Wandering Chickadee on social media…THANK YOU!

And with that, we do need help.  Below are some ways that, if you are moved to help us, would be much appreciated!  

Hotel and Gas Funds: Unfortunately, we have many, many trips to Boston ahead of us and some that will require overnight hotel stays.  Thankfully, we receive the hospital rate at many of the hotels near Mass General so that helps us a bit.   If you would like to help us with these costs, the easiest way to help is to donate to us through Venmo.  We are choosing Venmo as our preferred vendor as other platforms, like GoFundMe and MealTrain, take a portion of each donation.

Conversations: Any distractions are much appreciated during this time!   Please reach out via email (natalie.anneliese.flynn@gmail.com) or text me to coordinate dates and times.  

Food:  If you are someone who is local, loves to cook, and wants to whip up a meal, please do! My only request is for meals to be gluten free.  Check out the meal train link to see some times that we could use a meal.  

*If a gift card is more your vibe, please no Door Dash and Uber Eats ones.  Unfortunately, it’s incredibly hard for these businesses to locate our house. 🙁

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your help and support!  You have no idea how much it means to us!

Forever Grateful,

Natalie & Family
