Ever since Super Storm Sandy hit, JK and I have been trying to think of a way for us as a family to help with the relief. However, since we are on a very tight budget, we’re not really able to buy food and have someone deliver it for us. On top of that, we’re really hoping to get our whole family involved in service. But since we’re a family with some very young ones, it’s not super easy to figure out how to serve and keep the whole family involved.

As the holiday season gets even closer, we’re even more focused on trying to do a service project. Since we’re going to be in Nashville, I figured, oh, great, now I can get my family involved, too! Well, that complicates matters even more. Not only are we a family with small kids, but we’re also more than one family. I called the Rescue Mission and their minimum age to help is 7 – that excludes all three of my kids. I checked another soup kitchen thing and their minimum age is 13. Yikes!

Another problem is that almost all of the “holiday” service opportunities are over by the time we get to Nashville. They end the week before Christmas.

Not sure what we’re going to do yet.
