Hi everyone,
Dino donations have been rolling in for Dex. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know he’s going to love it.
I have an update on Dexter and his family, and I need your help.
If you aren’t familiar with Dexter’s living situation, he lives with Jeff, Amy’s father (Dexter’s grandfather). As long as I have known Amy, he’s lived in Knoxville with his family there so Amy could work and go to school in Des Moines.
With unexpected funeral costs right before Christmas, Amy’s friends and I would like to also raise money for this family. We are now asking for monetary donations alongside Dinosaurs for Dexter to help Jeff with raising Dex. I know that money won’t bring back Amy, but it may help ease some worry in an already stressful time.
Amy volunteered for the homeless and was actively involved in Occupy Des Moines and community organization. She would have done anything for anyone, and her son was her number one priority. I know money is tight for everyone–especially around this season. If you feel that you can donate even a little to this cause, it would mean so much to Amy’s family. Not only should we give Dex the best Christmas that we possibly can, we also need to ensure that his home life stays as normal as possible, especially after losing his mother.
We are continuing the Dinosaurs for Dexter project–so if that works out better for you as a donation, that is definitely encouraged and awesome. I can take/deliver any donations, or I can arrange for an address so monetary or toy donations can be sent directly to him and his family.
If you cannot give, help me out by reposting this all over. Spread the word.
Thanks so much,
Kelsey
