Is anyone local to Aragosta?

[bugandbibs]

I just read her post on TB about losing Lucas. Is anyone local to her or friends IRL/FB?

I want to help, but I don't really know how. I feel like BOTB is really good at rallying when we know what to do.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think I am. I don't know where she lives.

[themysteriouswife]

I'm not sure. I can donate a little.

[bugandbibs]

Honestly, I don't even know if she needs money for expenses. I just wanted to do some kind of gesture to let her know we are thinking of her. I was hoping someone here knew more about her since she has been around for awhile.

I'm hesitant to send her a PM right now while things are so fresh and she's still waiting to deliver.

Looks like she might be in Phoenix.

She is in the Phoenix area. She hasn't made mention of anything on the BMB yet, but I know they would be more than willing to do something as well.


She had a few labor buddies who might know what is going on (flutterby00 & layali).

I don't know if I should pm them, or just wait for her or one of them to make an announcement of some sorts.

I don't want to do anything that would call attention to it until she is ready to say something.

I think a PM would be ok given she did post on a board at the same site.  Just specify you would prefer them not say anything on the board until they have the ok from her.

I just hate that another BOTBer is going through this.  It's so cruel to have to spend such a long time in labor and not get the reward of a baby at the end.

Good point.  I'll send them a pm and see what they think.  

I hate that this is happening again too.  It freaks me out being so close to delivery myself.

It fucking sucks. There is not a nice way to put this.

[kelle017]

I sent them (her labor buddies) a pm asking if they had contact info (like an email) or an update.

Her labor buddies say she never responded to either of them when the whole labor buddy thing was set up with contact info so they don't have or know anything.
