Coordinating Direct Support Winter 2007

As you know, these guys don't live in Chicago anymore and it looks like they're going to be there for longer than they had planned. As you may also notice, they don't tend to ask for help much. Not only do they feel blessed for everything they have, but they are also always and amazingly aware of how there are so many others around them that are suffering as well.

They've outlined some ways you can help if you feel moved to do so in the past, and I'll paste those below. In addition, you can also send money to them through me to help cover some of the day-to-day expenses they're taking on now, and which may increase as things go on. As Joe would say, no pressure, and as they've said in the past, just checking in on the blogs is the best support you can give.

If you do want to give money, there's several ways to do it--paypal, credit card, or check. Just email me: and I'll coordinate it.

This is from last year:

As we get ready to head back to Children's Memorial this June, we want to highlight them as a great organization to direct support to. We've found opportunities to show our gratefulness to Children's Memorial Hospital of Chicago, and we invite you to join us in the endeavor.

Unlike our previous stints at Children's, we're not based in Chicago this time- so home is a long way away. We will be relying on the Ronald McDonald House, so we encourgage donations to Chicagoland Ronald McDonald Charities.

We want to acknowledge the immense and continuing support we have received from family, friends and strangers over the past four years. We understand everyone is in a different place and ask that you do not feel obligated to donate.

Peace be with all of you,
The Voss Armstrong family: Jen, Joe, Joey and Isaiah

Thanks!! Jon
