XP: May want to help our friend Mushe

She has not posted over here recently, but she is an active member of this board normally.  Our friend Mushe (who many of you have met IRL) had her baby girl at 29 weeks while out of town on vacation. There are lots of expenses that she now needs to deal with while staying out of town with her daughter in the NICU. Another friend from the TTTC board is putting together something if any of you are interested in helping our fellow H&F friend out. No pressure, just wanted to share with you all.

Oh no! Thank you for sharing. I'm glad Mushe's little girl is doing well. My thoughts are with her and her family. Definitely keep us in the loop. <3

[Wines Not Whines]

Oh wow, thanks for sharing. That must be incredibly difficult. I hope she and her little one are doing well.

Thanks for sharing the info. Glad her daughter is doing well. Many prayers

Thanks for sharing. I’d been thinking about her lately and wondering how she was doing. I’m so happy to hear that her daughter is doing well.

I’m waiting for poppy to pm me back more details but I can share the details here when I get them if anyone else is interested.

Yes please!

[mrs.jacinthe]

I am local to her (normally) so if anything needs coordinated in her hometown, feel free to contact me. I'm on it.

[kams]

Oh gosh, thanks for sharing. I’d love to keep up on how we can help.

[thom]

Thanks for sharing this. I will watch for updates here on how we can best help support her.

[bostonmichelle]

Thanks for letting us know. I’d be interested in doing something for them as well.

Thinking of you, Mushe and family!

Thanks for sharing and I'll be looking for an update. Praying for babyMushe.

[mrshandy]

Sending good thoughts to Mushe and her family! Please let us know what we can do to help.

[osulori]

Oh my goodness! Thanks for sharing shauni27, I'm so glad she and baby girl are doing well so far. I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates on how to help.

Thanks for sharing shauni27 , and yes please @vtcupcake . Sending good thoughts to her and her family.

Here is a small update, as I do not want to share too much personal information--we will let Mush do that when she feels ready.

If you want to help, please reach out to me directly via PM. I can give you paypal and venmo information. We are collecting money and will buy her some local food, goods like toiletries and clothes, etc, since she is about 8 hours away from home. We are working with our beloved kirkette to get this stuff to her next week.

They have been able to check in to Ronald McDonald house in the city she is in and can stay in their room for 28 days. At that point they need to technically check out but it is my understanding that they can just move rooms if one is available. Her son is back home with her sister. Her husband will be flying home in the near future to grab a car and drive it back down for Mush to use. She is having a tough time being away from her son. Little girl is doing pretty well. Hopefully she can be transferred by plane within the next month. I think the hardest part of all of this for Mush is that they are just not at home, you know?

So please feel free to PM me if you can help financially. But if not, she will see this and understand and know that you are all thinking of her and baby girl and I know she will feel your love!

I am glad they are doing as well as can be expected! I am keeping her family in my thoughts....

Thanks for the update shauni27!

[konapoppy]

Hi all! A quick note that I have been receiving a lot of Venmo and PayPal contributions. Feel free to pm me directly for info or confirmation. ❤️❤️❤️

[Mushe]

Thank you all for your kind wishes and support! This has been such a whirlwind. It seems impossible that she’s already one week old!

I started keeping some updates on an old blog H and I started when we had DS. I’m happy to share with friends here, but it has our name, so just PM me (or shauni27) if you’d like to read. No pressure - I’m writing it down for baby, family updates, and my own sanity.
