First off, thank you so much...your willingness to reach out and help is amazing. We truly know and can appreciate how lucky we are to have GOOD people like you. THANK YOU.
Things are going well for the Degan clan, life has evolved slowly but surely into a new routine and the family members have re-calibrated to one another and found our embraced our adjusted roles.
Offering help is a great thing when you reach out --- but know that no matter how bad or tough you feel our road has been over the past few months know that we survived just fine, embracing it at times but never allowing it not to shape us. We like to say our family is battle tested, we know when to put our shields up and come out bruised but certainly not defeated.
I could ramble like this all day, but the point I'm making is that the Degan clan is good ---- we are good. There are others out there, that are not so fortunate. If you truly want to help us, you would do so by helping the organizations that helped our boy come home, w/o them we would have failed.
Maybe our gift to the world is our resolution, strength and unity... and giving clarity to others who can't see it as clearly as we do in times of stress and crisis. If you feel so inspired to want to help us, divert sending your gifts our way and send them where they will be needed so, so much more:
- Levine Children's Hospital
- The people that work here....there are few words to describe them, amazing doesn't seem to do it justice.
- Ronald McDonald House
- Being we lived outside of Meck county we could stay in at the RMH. While we only were there to crash late night after lil man went to sleep, we got a solid meal every morning to start our days on a full tank. It costs a lot of them to run the hotel like establishment and a lot of volunteers. If you go through a lot of aluminum cans pop the tabs off, save them and give them to us whenever you think about it as RMH recycles those for $.
- Camp Luck
- Since we are new to this world of having a family member with a CHG we are just starting our adventure with them but this will be a great resource for us to draw upon as Finley grows up and needs his own support group of friends who know EXACTLY what he is going through.
So.....the Degan clan is good, we promise but there are so many others out there who can benefit more than us and we can certainly work together to help those who are not as fortunate as we are.
PS ---- If you want to help, Dana as you all know loves FOOD........... 😜
