The Parker Project

Thank you to everyone that has shown our family so much love and support. The out-pour of kind words, prayers, and donations have truly been a blessing to us on this difficult journey. Parker's "celebration of life" is this Saturday, October 27th, at 2pm. It will be held at Roselawn Funeral Home located at 1000 S. Highway 175 Seagoville, TX 75159. We welcome everyone to come share in this special day for such a special little girl. Parker's favorite color was yellow, if you insist on flowers please send white, yellow, or a combination of the two. We will also be releasing white and yellow balloons following the service. We want this to be a special celebration, so the typical somber, black formal attire is not expected, please come as you are.

We are humbled by all the donations that came through since we started this blog in early September. Thanks to everyones generosity I was able to stay home from work for the last two months and be there for Parker in everyway. You all are a true blessing and may God bless you all in return.

Phillip and I have dreamt of starting a organiztion for the past year where we could help other special needs families. We have learned an abundance of information through Parker's life and we want to share that information with other families. Due to the great amount of donations through this blog we now have the opportunity to start "The Parker Project", a non-profit organization to help these famlies in a multitude of ways. All left-over donations and future donations will now go towards The Parker Project. In the coming weeks we will update the blog with an official website, but for now please use the chip-in button.

Now a little bit about The Parker Project....

Parker was a blessing to us and we want her to bless other families for many years to come. Raising a special little girl means learning special information. You learn something new every single day and sometimes these things become overwhelming. The first mission of The Parker Project is to share this wealth of information with families that have just welcomed their special baby into the world. We can do this by becoming a resource for these families on how to get started on their journey i.e. who to call to for resources, things to expect, etc. The second mission is to provide families with medical equipment. Parker's bedroom was essentially a hospital room, it contained pumps, oxygen, nursing supplies, wheelchair, special therapy equipment, etc. Many states do not have resources to acquire these expensive needs and many families do not have medical insurance. We will source these products and get them to these faimilies. The third mission is to help families just like ours. When one or both parents are unable to work, we hope to provide them some financial stability by cash donations.

We are forever indebited by the joy and knowledge that Parker brought to us and we feel it is only right that many other families will be blessed in her memory.

Love, Megan
