A Letter From the Myer's Family

Mandy Myers wanted to share this with the blog. It's truly amazing how many people are coming together for this. I get e-mails everyday from people that Dustin went to school with, church with, or people that are friends with friends of Dustin. Even people that don't know Dustin, but have heard his story and want to help.

It's great how many resources we have. Please read the below letter, and see how you may be able to help. Even if you can't, you may know someone who knows someone who can. We've all been blessed in different ways. One way or another, we should all be able to help give Dustin the quality of life that he desires, and more importantly deserves.




We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has shown support for Dustin and our family during this difficult time. Looking at all the cards, gifts, visitors, phone calls, emails, and facebook messages have made the simple words of thank you seem to fall short of how we truly feel. We will never be able to repay the amount of kindness and help that we have received in the last few weeks.
Many people have asked what our needs are. As a family we thought about it and have some more specific ways people could help. We in no way expect people to supply us with all of these things, but with so many offers, this is what we came up with.
Paper towels
Hand Sanitizer
Hand Soap
Non Toxic Cleaning Supplies
Sun & Earth or Green Works
Toilet Paper
Cottonelle wipes
Tissues
Straws
Latex Gloves
Ensure (Dustin has a few preferred flavors)
Milk Chocolate
Vanilla
Strawberry
Wawa Iced Tea or Juice
Gift Cards
CVS, Giant, Wawa
Cleaning Volunteers for general household cleaning
Also, there will be a list of some personal needs of Dustin’s at the house (manicure, shaving, etc)
We are not asking anyone to do anything that they are not comfortable with. However, any and all help is greatly appreciated. Also, if people have ideas of other ways they would like to help just let us know.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
The Myers Family
P.S. Dustin will not refuse any offers for Swedish Massages
