I've chatted with Donna & we decided to focus on two families for our card club's "Christmas Angel" project.
Here's the information on the first family:
The Heim family; I mentioned them at Card Club. The family lives in a trailer park on Baer Creek Road. There are 4 kids (Scott, a freshman at FHS; Cody, who has graduated; and John – attended FHS but didn’t graduate...and Sarah, a senior). Sarah is a special ed. student; she just delivered a premie, Dakota, who will be hospitalized for some time; currently she weighs 2 lbs. Sarah’s boyfriend (Dakota’s father) lives with the family. Sarah will probably try to complete high school requirements through tutoring. Grandpa is on disability & Grandma is a manager at McDonald’s. Very little money is available; at school, a phone message asked for contributions for gas money so the family could visit the baby. Clearly, this family is in need; horrific situation for this young woman...and one which complicates not only her life, but also the life of the family.
Joan Martter gave me the information above. I don’t have sizes, etc.; during an earlier collection at school, money was collected to buy gas cards as Dakota has been in intensive care & the family – who had no $$ for gas – couldn’t even visit the baby! Anything would be appreciated! Pam
