Welcome to Erin's Dream
Ducks will be racing down the creek & we'll be celebrating with a small "fair" atmosphere at the Erin's Dream house on July 31st. We'll have vendors selling their goods, food & spreading the word all in support of Erin's Dream! The kids will have plenty of games to play & prizes to win. Bring your change for our penny pitch & quarter drop.
Take a break from your walk or ride through the property off of the trail or swing by as you drive by on 29. All are welcome! It's free to attend & there will fun for all ages.

Erin’s Dream – A Work in Progress
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. Thepossibilities 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.
