When Life Happens

Donation protected
In the midst of getting ready for the happiest day of your life, sending invites, working extra shifts to make sure every detail is perfect and paid for, and balancing time for each other, it's usually then that life decides to throw you a curve ball and makes your already hectic life turn upside down. 

Preparing for a wedding in September, we all couldn't be more happy for Devon and Tyler. Their love shines brighter than any star and then energy and happiness they bring into the room when they walk in is contagious. Planning is not easy, and weddings are not cheap, and they recently got thrown a curve ball that put a hardship on them financially. 

I'll go back and start with, they don't know we're setting this up for them until they start to read all this just like you. We are a collective group of friends and family that have decided to come together to see what we can do to help. 

A couple weeks ago, just after sending their wedding invites out and Devon moving back to Bend, OR to start a new job, Tyler was experiencing unusual abdominal pain. Thinking it wasn't serious but wanting to know how to make it go away, he went to urgent care. The diagnoses was that an ER trip was necessary because it was actually an issue with his appendix that needed to be pin pointed and fixed ASAP. A check in there, an over night visit, and a surgery to remove a stone later and the bills had become a dark cloud that was now approaching. Tyler had already been working almost 7 days a week to prepare for any little detail they wanted or needed for their wedding. 

That's where we come in. One dollar, ten dollars, it can all add up and help a couple experience the day of their dreams, their happiest day, and not feel weighted by other dark clouds. Both of them have made such an impact on the lives around them and I think we can all agree that we would love to impact theirs in a positive way if we could. 

So. If you can, click that donate button. Any amount helps. Our goal in this is to take away the stress of medical bills so they can focus on their wedding. If donating isn't something you have the means for right now, click the share button and spread the word. These two have a blanket of love ready to wrap them up and a share means more people are seeing their love, their story, and possibly helping them make their day perfect.
