Campaign Story
As you know, the Vaughn family lost its bread-winner when Jim's life ended so abruptly. "Teeny tiny steps" is how Zoe describes how she's getting along these days. The money we raised to help pay for cremation and Jorma's plane ticket and other expenses will go a long way to help her feel loved by all of us as well as help herpay for rent and food. She plans to find a job and looks forward to it, but right now that's not part of the baby-step plan.
Anyway, some of you mentioned you haven't had a chance to give yet and still want to, so here you go :). Thank you so much. Zoe is amazed at the outpouring of love from you all.
Best,
Christine
(Who am I? I'm Zoe's BFF (one of them). I live in Grand Rapids, MI)

update from Zoe 9/14/12
Update posted by Christine Stephens at 09:46 amYup, still a widow... no amount of deeply help hope, or wishes, will change that. Still unemployed - Connor has had a difficult transition to school this year, primarily due to his newfound separation anxiety in the wake of Jim's death. I'm likely going to start with something part-time due. . . . .

Update posted by Christine Stephens at 01:45 pmThought I should update folks a bit now that almost 4 weeks have gone by since Jim's death. (Holy crap - how can it be that long? How can it have just happened so recently? Time = still very screwy). We are getting through our days, some better than others.. . . . .

My sister Madeleine asked me to help, and knowing that you are special to her is reason enough to lend a hand. Very best wishes to you in this difficult time.

Zoe, you're an amazing grandmother. I have seen your knowledge and grace in the classroom with Connor time and time again. I have no doubt that you and Connor will continue to do great things! As the Quakers say, I am holding you both in the light.
