Plan for supporting Ms. Steffi

Dear 25th Year HST Families,
We have come up with several ways to support Ms. Steffi (HST’s Acting B and Shakespeare Director) as she continues her battle with cancer.
1. First, last, and in-between – *PRAYER.* *This is the single greatest need*. We believe God can do all things, but it is our job to humbly ask. So, let’s all ask for God’s strength to help Ms. Steffi through her chemo treatments and then for a successful bone marrow transplant. 2. *Individual Serving Dinners.* 1. Ms. Steffi will have to have a companion with her at all times during the 2 months of daily treatments for the bone marrow transplant. They will stay a block away from John Hopkins. We want to provide meals for the companion. * Anytime you have dinner leftovers that are enough for a single serving *- *please put the leftovers in a disposable container, label it with what is in the container and the date you made it, and then freeze it. * *We will be collecting these single serving meals the week after Thanksgiving.* (We’ll bring coolers so we can keep them frozen.) 3. *Soups/Stews/Broth Team Cooking* – open to all high school students 1. On Saturday, Nov. 23rd from 10am to 1pm, we have 2 volunteer homes that will be making soups & stews for Ms. Steffi. 1. The Hebeisen’s: 21100 Slidell Rd., Boyds, MD 20841 (301-646-2504) 2. The Bolin’s: 10 Bryants Nursery Rd., Silver Spring, MD 20905 (301-421-1362) 2. Highschool age students willing to help should: 1. Reply to this email & say which home you will be going to. 2. Bring a packed lunch with you on Nov. 23rd. 4. *Get Well Cards* 1. *Purchase fun get-well cards* (or hand-make one) and *sign it from “Your HST Family.” * *Please do not write a personal note* (those can be written for the Christmas basket collection on Dec. 20th). 1. These Get-Well cards (or “Thinking of You” cards) will be mailed so that Ms. Steffi receives one per day while going through her bone marrow transplant. 2. Cards can be dropped off in basket on check-in table. 5. *Cash Donations* 1. HST will be collecting cash donations after Christmas for Ms. Steffi.
Many, MANY thanks in advance for your support and prayers. HST is such a caring community. I am always amazed at people’s generosity. Blessings, Marilyn
