Many of you, especially far away friends, have been asking what you can do to help Jen and the rest of the Hartney family. Distance is somewhat limiting!
Here are a few things:
Keep praying! God hears our pleas and praises and they touch His heart.
Send notes of encouragement. (...and maybe a picture/note for the kids!)
Send a 'treat'. Jen is on a pretty restricted diet...vegan, vegetarian, raw, organic. If you are wanting to include a 'treat' with your encouragement, please send something that meets that criteria. These types of things are usually sold in health/whole food stores like Whole Foods or Sprouts. You can order a lot of these sorts of products online (amazon.com) too. A few suggestions include:
- products from 2 Moms In The Raw
- dried kale chips or other dried veggie/veggie chips
- granola or granola bars
- walnuts (no additives/flavors)
- dried figs (no additives/flavors) or other no sugar added dried fruit
*If wondering what to get, look up 2 Moms in the Raw products on amazon.com, click on one and then scroll through the 'customers who bought this item also bought' products further down the page. This should provide a good starting point!
Clean their house. They have a cleaning service set up. If you're interested sponsoring a cleaning or two, please contact Kerry Faber, kerryfreed@hotmail.com.
Look forward. Jen will likely be going to a cancer treatment center (Phoenix? Houston?) for chemo treatment. There will be a lot of logistical needs to fill regarding those treatment trips. If you are able/willing to help out with that (be a travel companion, help in El Paso, have friends/family in either of those locations that may be able to help), please consider doing so.
If you need the Hartney's address, please contact me, danajones50@hotmail.com.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to Jen and her family. And thank you for your willingness to do so even from afar!
