How to help our family

It has been brought to our attention that lots of people want to help our family, but don't exactly know how.  This post will hopefully consolidate some of the information that may be buried within other blog posts.

Cindy Light at our church is coordinating efforts for our family here in Madison.  Food, transportation for Kate, snow removal, and other goods and services are her realm.  Cindy's email is cindylight87@gmail.com.

If  you are interested in helping our family with the financial costs of Anna's medical treatment, you could do one of three things.

1) You could send a check to our church, Lutheran Church of the Living Christ, with "Anna Mischnick Fund" in the memo line.

2) You could come to "Songs for Anna", the benefit concert being put on by some of our close friends.  It will be held on Sunday, March 9, from 3 until 6 p.m. at the McFarland High School.  The suggested donation is $5 per child, $10 per adult ($20 per family maximum) at the door.  There will be food, music, children's arts and crafts, a silent auction, and a bake sale.  If you are interested in donating items for the auction or bake sale, you can contact our neighbor, Jenny, at jentravg@gmail.com.

3) You could wait until early next week when an online fundraising website will be set up for our family on Go Fund Me.  I will post information about that site as soon as it becomes available.

As I mentioned before, we could probably make things work financially if we had to, but we will have many added expenses at this time because of Anna's disease, including childcare for the other children, transportation, and medical costs.  We will strive to be good stewards with the gifts given us.
