As many of you already know, the Sumner family lost their home in a fire on June 8th. Thankfully they were not injured and were able to get the family pets out of the home.
They lost all of their possessions and were only able to retrieve a few sentimental items and left with only the clothes on their back.  Unfortunately, they were just made aware that their renter's insurance policy is not covering the loss.
We are looking for any help, whatsoever, to cover immediate necessities and also raise additional funds to help them rebuild their lives.  
We are also trying to support them during this stressful time by setting up a meal calendar and welcome any meals, restaurant or store gift cards.  
The Sumner family is active in the community and  well loved. Please consider helping in any way you can as they would do the same for you.
Rick, Tammy, Madison and Peyton are so grateful for everyone who has donated thus far.  They are overwhelmed and thankful for everyone's generosity.

They are currently staying at Tammy's brother's home in Maryland, a half hour drive from Middletown.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.
For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.
Why We Love This Gift: Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I be most helpful?

ULTA Beauty is the largest beauty retailer in the United States and the premier beauty destination for makeup, fragrance, skin, hair care products, and salon services.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers an indulgence. It pampers those who need a little extra love and attention. When a person is ill sometimes a little pampering can actually be helpful than we know.
When unexpected medical costs mount, little indulgences can fall by the wayside. Prevent this from happening. (A gift card is preferable to a gift basket because heavily scented items can make people in treatment feel very nauseous so it is best for the recipient to choose their preferred items).
Or, help a newly separated person to move back out into the dating world at a pace that is comfortable. Remind them of how attractive they are.

Organizing solutions. Explore new methods to organize any room. Customize your space.

For a family who is downsizing, folks who are moving - and lots more - the ability to get (and stay) organized is a day that entropy does not win.

This is also a good gift for a aging relative who may wish to consolidate.  It is useful also for new parents because offices turn nicely into nurseries. Bottom line? Storage bins are always useful.
