All are Welcome!!

We know that quite a few people are just finding out about Melanie's Angels, and it can be disheartening to want to volunteer and then find that all of the lists are full. If you want to volunteer, just go ahead and send an email to melaniesangels@charter.net and we will find a place for you. We are sure that people who are signed up more than once would not mind sharing this privilege.

Also, we wanted to let everyone know that as we receive emails, we are updating the lists (we will email back if we have questions, otherwise just check the lists for the update you requested). These updates should occur within 1 or 2 days of receiving your emails. You can find the lists easily by clicking on the Labels section, midway down the right side bar.

With the exception of meals which are scheduled for certain days and housecleaning which is scheduled by week, the lists are used by Jeff & Nicki when they need assistance in that area. It is comforting for them to know that they can call people for help when they need it, and it gives them a big group to pull from.

Our Purpose

Hi everyone - I just want to make sure people aren't feeling like the Angel Coordinators are gate keepers for helping. There are just some areas in Jeff and Nicki's life where we can have the most impact by working together and coordinating our efforts. Right now that list includes meals, watching Miya and Jayden, driving Nicki to and from the Hospital while she is recovering, housecleaning. If any of you have other ideas that you would like coordinated or would like to have posted so that people can go in on something with you, just send an email to melaniesangels@charter.net. We can always use ideas. Plus we'll need every one's eyes and ears open while talking with Jeff and Nicki, so that we can add ideas to the "Looking for the perfect gift" section.

This is not meant to stifle any ones creativity or spontaneity. If you have something special you want to do for Jeff and Nicki, please go right ahead. No stamps of approval required :)

The lists of who is helping and when will be coming shortly. The plan is that each group of volunteers will come out on a separate post (labelled so that they appear on the sidebar for easy reference at a later date). That's the plan anyway...now whether it comes out like that, we will just have to wait and see...we are definitely limited by not having any experience in blogging.
