We got the approval to have Rachel's Memorial Playground at our church! I wrote up a page on the left side of the blog with information about it. Here is a picture of what the main structure will be:
The other side has a 20 foot "two by two" wide slide, a climbing net, a music wall, a rock wall, and lots of animals. It's an awesome playground. Learning Structures in Strafford, NH is designing it for us and helping us with it. (For those of you from around here, they are the same people who designed the amazing playground in Barrington!) We are SO excited about it. It will be built at Grace in Rachel's memory. I have put a "donate" button on the right side of the page. Donations will go directly into a paypal account for us and will be used for supplies to build the Ark. Or they can be mailed to Grace Community Church, 159 Rochester Hill Road, Rochester NH 03867 with "Rachel Alice" in the memo line. Other ways to help are in the playground page I made. Check it out!! We'll need lots of help.
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
love it Stac!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a friend on facebook. She wanted to share your story and I am so glad she did. You have amazing faith and makes me more excited to grow in mine and to teach my daughter to be steadfast in the Lord. You and your family are in my prayers this Christmas season. God bless you.
