For months since I lost Dallas I was trying to come to terms
with just merely losing him. After I got
over the hurdle of my actual due date things have seemed to have become easier
for me…day by day…little by little. As I
am fast approaching the one year anniversary of his birth I have been racking
my head on what I can do to remember and honor him while also giving glory God. I have prayed relentlessly to try and figure
it out. I won’t go into all of the
details, some say it is coincidence, others say it is divinity. For me, I know that in my heart of hearts it
was God talking to me, showing me just what he wants me to do.
Who am I to argue with God?
Here is the plan:
First I need to come up with a clever fundraiser name. I have a friend already working on this, but
any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Second, spread the word.
Share this with your friends, and maybe they can share it with
theirs. I want as many people as
possible to participate. I want to flood
the food pantry with baby foods. Think
about it, how many food drives have you seen cans of formula at? Not very many right? Well, that is about to change!! This food drive is solely for baby foods.
Dallas mattered. And this is his mission.
During the next month and a half I am going to gather as
much baby food and formula as I possibly can.
I am not doing this to start hoarding so don’t worry. HA! In honor of Dallas’ first angel-versary I am
going to donate every thing that I have collected to the DMARC (Des Moines Area
Religious Council) and they will be supplying the local food pantry with
it.
Here is the thing; they are in GREAT need of baby foods.
So please, please, please participate.
One can, one jar, one box…anything you can and are able to donate would
be much appreciated.
All of the items will be donated right before Dallas’ first
birthday July, 7th.
