I'm sure a lot of people missed out since it was the holiday weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2559769 Tue, 31 May 2016 22:03:50 +0000 regberadaisy 2559769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, gofundme still hasn't gotten back to me. I'll be working on withdrawing the funds to continue meals for her family. We've raised so much that we can continue meal deliveries for another 2 weeks! The remainder will be given to Winniebee, as a GC, for her to use, when she's ready.</p> <p>Thank you to everyone for their generosity, love and compassion. This community rocks.</p> <p>To everyone that's contributed via the fund and through other arrangements. Thank you. I've got a card signed from everyone and their HB name that I have, otherwise, I filled in your name used on gofundme.</p> <p>Thank you 💗💗💗</p> <p>Please continue to keep Winnie bee in your thought, as I'm sure the hardest days are up ahead. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2559487 Tue, 31 May 2016 12:46:20 +0000 ValentineMommy 2559487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: wall-ing you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2559463 Tue, 31 May 2016 12:03:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2559463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Friends --<br /> I still have yet to hear back from gofundme. I've emailed them back twice and sent a new email via their online contact form. So much, for responses within 5 minutes! :/</p> <p>If I don't hear back by the end of the day I'll be working on withdrawing the funds from the WePay account. This will go towards extending meals for Winniebee and her family and I will set money aside for a etsy or visa/MasterCard gift card. For her to use when she's ready.</p> <p>If anyone will still like to contribute, feel free to wall me and we can work something out. 💗</p> <p>I'm so sorry for the big confusion. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2559320 Tue, 31 May 2016 08:11:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2559320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: yes! The money donated is in a WePay account. I'm working to get the link back up. Their customer service department doesn't open till 10am EST; so I'm still waiting to hear back.<br /> If they won't reactivate the link i can still withdraw the money from the WePay account. Rest assured that no ones generous donations will be lost!!!</p> <p>If they won't reactivate the link we will just have to figure something out for those who still wish to donate.</p> <p>Will keep everyone posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2559314 Tue, 31 May 2016 08:05:54 +0000 yellowbird 2559314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: that's strange that the link disappeared!

I remember when some of our dec 2014 moms were going through difficult times she organized support. This is a great community on part because of her. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558997 Mon, 30 May 2016 00:52:23 +0000 Boogs 2558997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>💔 for her and her family. I've known her for years now through the bee world and she's such a beautiful person inside and out. I want nothing more than to send her hugs, peace, and healing thoughts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558949 Sun, 29 May 2016 18:55:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2558949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: 💗 Thanks for doing that.</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: @SweetiePie: @Tidybee: @HLK208: @yellowbird: 💗💗</p> <p>Since everyone is good with either. I'll let her decide. At the rate we're going we definitely have enough to send another week of meals AND a remembrance gift of her choice, whenever she's ready.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone that has contributed so far. I know who most of you are -- but if you don't think I do. Feel free to wall me so I know to include your HB name on a card for Winniebee. 💗</p> <p>This community is amazing for bringing us all together.

My heart goes out them. I haven't stopped thinking about her for a minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558793 Sat, 28 May 2016 21:53:16 +0000 Truth Bombs 2558793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @junebugsmama: that we should do what Winniebee wants. My opinion is that a rememberence for a lost child is an extremely personal thing and something I would want to pick out for myself, and the hot prepared meals for my family and me would be the biggest help if I were in her situation. But she may feel differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558784 Sat, 28 May 2016 21:09:12 +0000 yellowbird 2558784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for setting this up. My heart is just breaking for her and her family. I just donated and I would be happy for the money to go to whatever she needs. Food is always a comfort and will be an amazing gift. Continuing to send love and support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558782 Sat, 28 May 2016 21:02:31 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2558782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! I voted both. But also, I would love if someone can make sure we do what would support her best, from her perspective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558762 Sat, 28 May 2016 20:07:21 +0000 knittylady 2558762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for doing this. I'm also local and can help in anyway you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558754 Sat, 28 May 2016 19:49:41 +0000 mfa_lady 2558754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much for doing this. I also just posted it in our October board--I know lots of us over there have been wanting a way to do something, too. </p> <p>A wonderful idea. Thanks again for organizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-amp-support-for-winniebee-and-her-family#post-2558749 Sat, 28 May 2016 19:33:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2558749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi friends -<br /> By now everyone has probably read about the devastating news that winniebee and her husband recieved early last week.</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-baby-has-spina-bifida" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-baby-has-spina-bifida</a></p> <p>I've had the pleasure of knowing winniebee since our weddingbee days. A group of us, all TTC'd for our first together. We all gave birth to our first born, within weeks of each other.</p> <p>My heart as a friend aches for her, my heart as a mother, cries and grieves with her.</p> <p>She is one of the nicest and sweetest people I know. If someone is in need, she is always the first to offer.</p> <p>Our group and her December 2014 birth group have banded together to show our love and support with the comfort of food. We will be providing some meals for her and her family. We have found a local service that prepares and assembles wholesome and healthy meals offsite. Their policy is not typically to deliver. But after speaking with the owner, she has agreed that they will make an exception and will make sure all the meals are delivered to winniebee's home. </p> <p>I know that there are many on here who wish to show their love and support during this difficult time. I have set up a gofundme account to benefit winnebee and her family.</p> <p>We as a community can vote on what we want to do with the funds raised on here.<br /> We can choose to continue to have meals delivered to her and her family, purchase a remembrance gift to honor winniebee baby 3, or do both if we have enough funds.</p> <p>Here is the gofundme link for anyone wishing to contribute:<br /> <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/26v475g" rel="nofollow">https://www.gofundme.com/26v475g</a></p> <p>Thank you so much for your love and support for winniebee. I know she greatly appreciates it. :heart: </p>
