A new opportunity for Ian's Elephants....

I knew the day would come...I dreaded it....but I know that it needs to be done.  I got an email from an old co-worker/friend today, saying that her women's group at church want me to come in an tell them all about our organization and they are going to have a "supply drive" where they will collect as much supplies as they possibly can to create care packages!!  I'm thrilled...yet extremely nervous!!!!  This won't take place until April, so I have time to prepare and work up the nerve to do it.  I talk about Ian to my friends and family on a regular basis...and usually I can do so with out becoming a big sobbing mess....however...any time I've ever told "someone new" our story ...I break down.  Please pray that God will give me the words to say and I don't get up there and just say random stuff...

I called the hospital where we had our D&C with Ian today to find out if we could donate some packages...I think its going to be a go...but I'm getting the run around....here let me connect you with my supervisor...etc. At the hospital that we currently donate to, we called, told them our story, and  they instantly said yes.  I don't understand what all the red tape is about at the Drs offices and hospitals...  we're not selling anything to them.  It's a free service that will help their patients... but we can't do it unless they let us.
