what can we do for Chrissywish? UPDATE!!!

Original post by colleen1117

Ladies,
i know we've seen lots of super sad scenarios on this board and we've all sent out tons of prayers to our fellow brides. and this certainly isn't to minimize ANYONE elses tragedies or sad or scary situations. i don't know maybe her story is just really sticking with me as I'm coming close to my own wedding now? VERY self centered way of thinking i know ... but , i think about her each night before I go to bed while going through my 'to do' list for the next day.
what do you guys think - is there anything we can ban together and do for her? I know I have a million and 10 things left on my list for my wedding (which is the week after hers) I wonder if we could get a group together and offer to help her get some stuff done? I don't' know, just throwing this thought out there to see if anyone has any ideas?

thoughts???

UPDATE- please see below for chrissywish's response to our offer. thank you so much to all the brides who have IM'd me offering to chip in!
It looks like she's set and certainly if I hear that we need an '08 Bride Chrissywish to do list team' assembled for anything I'll be sure to let you all know.

This is part of what I wrote in the FM and I will add a lil here:

I just wanted to thank you all so much for this offer. It honestly means so much to me, and amazes me what people will do. At a time like this, when you wonder how someone could do such a horrible thing, it is really promising to know that there are people out there with such good hearts!!!! It really means the world to me!!!

I can honestly say though, that at this point, I really don't need too much help. There was some stuff at my house that needed to get done, and my aunts and uncles are all over there working on the to-do list we have. We painted the whole downstairs of my house, and it isn't done yet, so they started doing that and putting our house back together in living condition. My MOH and bridesmaids said to give them the favors and a list of things I need picked up and they are going to go get them. My aunt said to email her the programs and menu stuff, she will print them and get them together for me. So I can honestly say that all the stuff I needed to do, everyone is doing for me!!!!

Our house is full of food, everyone that comes up calls and asks if we need dinner or lunch or anything at all...our friends and family said even if we need help tying our shoes, just give them a call.

I truly thank you for the offer, it really means the world to me, and thank you so much girls!!!!
