How you can help the Doria's right now

We have received lots of requests from people wondering what they can do to help the Doria's right now. Here are a few ideas -

1. Send them a picture of you/your family

Email a digital copy to Staussen's aunt kyleewayment@gmail.com and we'll get it printed for you or mail a hard copy to Staussen's aunt that lives near the hospital -

Staussen Doria
c/o Shalayne Monson
4407 Dixie Hill Rd #306
Fairfax, VA 22030-9032


Staussen's hospital room is going to be decorated in a 'Superheroes are little boys in disguise theme'. There will be a sign that says 'Super Staussen's Fan Club' and we'd love to be able to include pictures of all his family and friends there. We hope it will be a wonderful visual reminder to the Doria's of the many people who love them and are praying for them.

2. Pray that housing will open up for them in the next few days in the Fisher house near the hospital. They are sponsored in a hotel nearby for the next three nights but will need to find something else after that.

3. Gift cards to restaurants nearby so they don't have to always eat hospital food would be great. Here are a few ideas (you can click on them to go to the page to purchase the applicable gift card) -

Quiznos
Subway
Wendy's

There are a lot of great local restaurants near the hospital that do not offer gift cards online. So a generic gift card/cash/or check earmarked for food would also be great.

Digital gift cards can be emailed to Auna at soccerdaisy@gmail.com or gift cards can be mailed to Shalayne at the address above and she'll get them to the Doria's.

They have plenty of non-perishable snack foods at present.


Also, Staussen has received so many toys/books - thank you so much to everyone who has sent such wonderful things! Presently they have plenty, but there will be a place for those sorts of gifts in the future. We'll keep you posted.
