Family
& Friends
There
are many ways to include family and friends in Awareness
Week. One of our committee members shared with us
that last year she wrote an update to her entire
extended family. She included pictures, ribbons,
bookmarks and more. They responded very positively
and were very appreciative to have the opportunity to
learn about the injury and a lot about what this little
boy's life was like.
Sometimes family and friends do not know how to help or
how to respond because they just don't know what to say
or do. Involving them in this way might shift the
entire family - for the positive!
The
Spiritual Awareness sheet will offer you some additional
ways to gather the family and share awareness in a
'different' way. We hope you get a chance to read
it.
We
have two contests that anyone can enter. Wouldn't
it be nice for family or friends to do something for
either or both contests - from their perspective.
And
of course there is the Awareness Store. Your
family or friends might be interested in supporting your
Awareness efforts in some way. Buying a jewelry ribbon pin
or some handsewn pins will help support the project as a
whole.
Once
Awareness Week is over, don't forget to come back and
post a "Wrap Up" on the Awareness Message
Board. We are so interested in hearing about what
you did to share awareness - even if it is one little
thing. Your wrap-up will inspire many!
