An invitation to walk with us

We are surrounded by an extraordinarily caring and supportive community and we feel your love.  Many have asked how they can help, so I provide the following list of suggestions:

·      Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Your prayers have sustained us for nine years, and we need them now more than ever. Fr. Charlie will be organizing a community prayer—most likely Sunday Dec 2 at 4:00 at St. Ambrose Church.  I will post again as the date approaches

·      Send messages of love and appreciation to Jim—share memories, stories, kind words, thank yous. Tell him something you admire or appreciate about him. You can send messages directly to the house, through Facebook (to me and/or Jim), text, or email (marciegm@gmail.com)

·      Share laughs—share funny videos, pictures, jokes.  We have laughed our way through countless hours in doctor and hospital waiting room, and lightened many stressful or scary moments with funny animal videos.

·      Send me photos of Jim or upload them to this shared google folder (Jim Goeke-Morey photos)

The other thing we need right now is time. It is helpful if others take care of everyday tasks that free me to be able to spend time with Jim and attend to his needs.  If you’d like to provide instrumental support:

·      Bring meals (fresh or frozen, or gift cards/contributions for meal pick up or delivery)—this is graciously being coordinated by Amy Whitesel (awhitesel22@gmail.com)

·      Help with rides for A&G to or from school in Silver Spring (or to a carpool in University Park or Bowie)—this is graciously being coordinated by Megan Daly (1megandaly@gmail.com)

·      Be available for various needs --run errands, help with odds and ends, pick up groceries, drive girls to activities, rake leaves and shovel snow, etc. Sometimes these are planned, but sometimes they arise unexpectedly.  This is graciously being coordinated by my mom Carol Goeke (carolgoeke@yahoo.com)

If you’d like to bring a meal, drive, or be on the list to receive requests as needs arise, please provide your contact info here and someone will reach out.

Gratefully,

Marcie
