Welcome to Drew’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportHi Friends,
You're here because you care about a member of the Richardson family. Whether it's Drew, Mark, Phil, Joyce, or Mark's dog Rogan. After a heartbreaking year and a half, we lost Phil, Joyce, and now Mark. This is a site where we can support Drew and pup Rogan, as they mourn the most recent loss of brother Mark, just last week.
While Drew would never make a site like this himself, several friends have been asking how they may help Drew during this fresh season of grief. Here are a few ideas for those wishing to take action:
How you may help Drew:
If you live in Athens, OH:
1. Offer to take dog Rogan for a walk, either in the morning or later afternoon. He's an older and sweet pup, perhaps 55lbs, so we're just trying to avoid the hottest part of the day. Location: Drew's neighborhood, east side of Athens.
2. Perhaps drop off a meal, a six pack of IPA, or gift card from one of the following local restaurants(Please note: Drew is allergic to red bell peppers):
Little Fish Pub https://littlefishbrewing.com
Salaam https://www.restaurantsalaam.com
Big Mama's Burritos https://www.bigmammasburritos.com
JACKIE O's https://jackieos.com
3. Drop off a healthy meal at his house (Please note: Drew is allergic to red bell peppers).
If you do NOT live in Athens, OH:
1. Perhaps consider a gift card from one of the following local restaurants: Little Fish Pub, Salaam, Big Mama's Burritos, JACKIE O's (links above)
2. Perhaps consider an Amazon gift card for Drew to use on doggie-related items, since Mark's dog Rogan is staying with him now.
Much love to you all. This has been a brutal year for many, and we can all understand how much Drew needs to feel the embrace of his community right now.
Warmly,
Friends of Drew
