Jenn is a single mom who adopted little Yan from Hong Kong. Yan has Down syndrome. Jenn and I met on an Ebay selling forum about 4 years ago, but didn't get very close until this last year (after Carter was born). She is a Speech Language Pathologist, and has always been very helpful in steering me in the right direction to find help for Carter. Jenn has been a tremendous support to me, and I thank her dearly for that.
They live in the Nashville area where all of the flooding is going on. Here is a picture of her house when it started to flood (I believe hers is on the left).
Here is a picture of her house a few hours later. The water rose as high as her door handles, and actually picked up her furniture and moved it around her house. Her fridge was completely tipped over, and as you can imagine...she lost almost everything. She is very grateful that she and her precious angel are safe, but could really use some prayers right now. Poor little Yan does not understand why they can't just go home. So, if you could just send a good thought, or a little prayer her way, I know that she'd appreciate it.

Oh my gosh! I had no idea this is happening, especially to our friends. If there is any type of fundraiser for Jenn and Yan through britches, or any others, please let me know.

Thanks!
Please send our thoughts and prayers along to your friends...we will be thinking of them...
Oh, how devastating. Sending prayers.
I will be praying for your friend and especially for little Yan.
Oh my gosh, how horrible. We hear about it on the news, but to see it happen to a "real person" is quite impactive. I can't imagine how upset Yan is, not understanding why she can't just go home to her stuff.
Lots of prayers for your friend and her daughter. I remember losing most everything to a flood when I was in my teens and can't imagine how hard it is on little yan.
Yikes, sending out prayers right now!
