Welcome to Jon’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your Support
We are currently on Day 15 at Hopkins and are hopeful that Jon will be released by the end of this week - a date that has been pushed back many times though now finally seems actually on the horizon. As this hospital stay and the recovery that will follow it have become much more prolonged and taxing than we ever imagined, countless people have been reaching out asking how they can help. The amount of love, support, and prayers that have poured out throughout these past weeks and months have been beyond what we could dreamed of and for each of those we are so grateful. For those near and far who have been seeking other ways to support, below are some options that would be helpful.
*For DC-area folks interested in delivering a meal to us: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/ze070y
*If you would like to help by sending a gift card, you can send one electronically to lori.t.murphy@gmail.com. A few options that would be useful:
- Amazon (allows for spending on a range of needs from grocery delivery to supplies to movies and even gift cards for other vendors)
- Mighty Meals (healthy prepared meals): https://eatmightymeals.com/gift-card/
- Territory Foods (healthy prepared meals): Website will require you to create a login to purchase a gift card. https://www.territoryfoods.com/gifts/
For those who have been asking about contributing flexible funds to support a myriad of costs related to surgeries, recovery, and care, these can be can sent using Venmo (send to loritmurphy) or PayPal (send to lori.t.murphy@gmail.com).
I typically have a hard time asking for/accepting help and feel compelled to manage everything on my own but I'm also continuing to try to be better about that in a moment where we could use it. I am sure there will be many ways beyond the above that I will continue to be grateful for those who keep showing up for and supporting us in so many ways in the months ahead. #HODGSTRONG
