HOW TO HELP NOW::
1. Pray for Megan and for the Monnich family
2. Bring a meal. If you did not receive the meal plan e-mail, contact Allison Allen at ahambyallen@gmail.com and click on http://www.takethemameal.com/ (last name: Monnich, password: food)
Please note that drop off location for food is not at Monnich’s house, but just around the corner at Allison and Kirk Allen’s house. (SEE BELOW ABOUT ALLISON'S INSTRUCTIONS)
3. Visit Megan. Call first. Home 254.399.0059 and cell 254.366.1453
4. Make a donation to the Monnich Children's college fund at Educator's Credit Union (501 W. State Hwy 6, PO Box 20728, Waco, TX 76702). The account is under Megan Monnich and is marked as Monnich Children as well.
5. Send a gift card for places Megan shops: Wal-Mart, HEB, Old Navy, Starbucks, Target. Try to think of things that Megan will always need, ie. baby wipes. NOTE: *Megan is using cloth diapers.*
Megan's mailing address is 707 N. 13th, Waco, TX 76707
6. Send notes of encouragement now and throughout the coming year; consider choosing a day of the month and sending encouragement monthly for a year.
7. Pick up Elijah and take him to the park, zoo, Mayborn, etc.
8. Not that Megan is incapable of swinging a hammer, but hey, if you have the urge to do some "around the house" keeping: yard work, trash pickup, maintainence, and other "masculine" tasks, please come by and help. It is those thankless jobs that mean the most.
Notes from Allison Allen . . . (courtesy of Take a Meal website)"Please note that meals will be delivered to my house (Allison) at 611 N. 14th Street. A hot & cold cooler will be available on my back porch for drop off so there's no need to coordinate an exact drop off time with me. Just pull in the back driveway that faces Barron. Megan lives just around the corner from my house so if you want to visit her when you deliver the meal just call her ahead of time at 399-0059.
Please plan to make food for 2 adults and 3 yr. old Elijah, as Megan's mom will be staying with her for awhile. And no one has any food allergies. "

We all loved Brandon dearly and now surround Megan and the boys with love and prayer.
