Rachel was one of my first brides when I started STC, back in April 2005. She and Steven just celebrated their 3rd anniversary last week and they have an adorable son who is 14 months old. In the short time I've known them, I've gotten to know this family and have come to consider them dear friends. Their house was struck by lightening on Sunday. The firefighters were able to eventually put the fire out, but the house is a complete loss. I am so thankful that they escaped without a scratch, but they've obviously suffered a huge loss.

To help them get through this until the insurance kicks in, we've come up with some ways for people to contribute immediate funds and donations.

1) Order gift card from Target registry - look up under "baby registry" with mother's first name

burntorangetang

and last name

2) Send eGiftCards (such as available at target.com, but keep in mind eGiftCard will have to be redeemed online and will have shipping costs) to burntorangetang@gmail.com

3) Order gift cards online and have shipped to:

PO Box 152676

Austin, TX 78715-2676

and shoot me an email to let me know when to expect it - jessica@somethingtocelebrate.biz

4) Mail donations to:

Something To Celebrate

PO Box 152676

5) Send donations via PayPal to jessica@somethingtocelebrate.biz - be sure to put "Rachel" in the subject/message!

6) Send encouragement and words of love to burntorangetang@gmail.com

Spread the word! We can come through in a big way for this family.
