Parker House
I copied this from Sophia's blog and I wanted to share this with my readers and to see if maybe we all can come together to help spread awareness and help other families who are having to face the CDH roller coaster ride.
Parker Reese Singletary was born May 7, 2006 and fought a hard battle against CDH for 20 hours. On January 1, 2008, Parker's Mommy and Daddy formed The Parker Reese Foundation in memory of their daughter to help other families affected by CDH.
In May of this year, some dear friends of the Singletary's very generously donated a house to The Parker Reese Foundation. Yes - a house! This house is appropriately named "Parker's House" in memory of sweet Parker. Parker's House is meant to be a "home away from home" for families with a CDH baby at Duke or UNC Chapel Hill that have come from far away. It's located 20 minutes between either hospital and CDH families may stay free of charge for just one night or for many months. What an unbelievable gift to these families during what is such a difficult time!!
Recently Parker's Mommy, Jessica, contacted me. The Singletary's are decorating Parker's House with photos of other CDH babies. She has been following Sofia's story and requested some photos of Sofia to display in Parker's House. I am so honored to know that Sofia's photos will be hanging on the walls in Parker's House, giving hope to other CDH families.
The Parker Reese Foundation and Parker's House are made possible by donations. Parker's House has a "Wish List" containing items needed to keep the house stocked for its very important guests. In fact, another CDH family I have been following will be moving in this month when their baby arrives. So these items will be helping them. Please consider donating something from the Wish List or making a monetary donation from The Parker Reese Foundation website. Monetary donations may be made securely through Paypal by clicking the Paypal link in the upper left hand corner of their website, or also by clicking here. I made my donation just now!
