Erin's Dream - Rebuilding & Restoring

Picking up the pieces of a broken heart following the loss of a child is not an easy job. We can only speak from our experience after losing two of our children, but we have found that the first service of Erin’s Dream has come simply in sharing our dreams & lives with others. We have found that our hopes for Erin’s Dream mimic the daily work of reconstructing our lives following the loss of our children, Avery & Nolan. Those who are not familiar with the loss of a child want to see us as whole, just one piece, all in it’s correct place, clearly designed, concretely constructed. Well, it doesn’t work that way. As a family, we will never be whole. We’re missing 2 very important pieces. Just think how long it took us to become who we are today. Starting over at square one is not part of the plan!We know there are MANY important families in the world who completely understand the need of a physical, safe, healing, understanding place for us to feel like we belong. A place where we can be shattered in a million pieces, scattered about in conversation & life in general & seen as “normal”, wonderful & amazing moms, dads & siblings. Jeff & I want to open our home to others in this way. A sacrifice, yes. But it is a true need. We all need a place where we do not feel pressured to hide our lives & losses in order to fit in. Your life is your loss. We get it & we welcome you. The possibilities to change the world are limitless.

Piece 1: Restore the physical space for our family to share with all of our “club” members. You know who you are & we love you.
