Several months ago we learned about a kinship family who could use some support and encouragement as they unexpectedly took in a newborn baby. We had already selected our monthly recipients for a few months out so we decided to provide immediate support and then highlight them at a later time. So without further ado, for the month of June we are ‘supporting’ the Deur family!

Here is a little bit about their family….

“Hello! We are the Deur family (Steve and Jackie, Drew, Ethan, Emmett and Lorri). Three of our kids are in college and the oldest lives in New York City.

As we were settling into a new experience and rhythm of being empty nesters this year, an urgent need came up in our extended family, and we were asked to be kinship providers for an infant family member. It's been a long time since we had a baby in our home! We suddenly needed diapers, wipes, clothes, formula, and baby furniture. When The Dollar Difference stepped in to support us, it was an amazing gift! The gift cards that we received have helped with so many needs, and we are beyond thankful. Every time we walk into the store to make a purchase with the gift card, we feel so loved and supported by this community. In a situation that can often feel lonely, it is such a blessing to be reminded that there are many people standing with us. We are humbled and grateful. Thank you so very much for your support of our family!”

We were able to provide the Deur family with a large gift card to Target and a gift card to Streats Tacos.
