Happy 35th Birthday Natalia!

Happy 35th birthday to our Natalia! It's our 11th time celebrating her birthday without her here. 💔 It feels like longer to me. We continue to celebrate her life by doing #servicefornatalia, sending notes on balloons up to heaven, and eating pizza and s'mores. A huge thanks to those who joined us in #servicefornatalia recording 350 acts of service in her honor! (326 at the time of posting) Another HUGE thanks to all those who helped us raise $905.00 to help a couple in Texas rebuild their home and supplies. I can't wait for my brother to deliver the gift cards to them!! So grateful for the time we were blessed to know this amazing lady! Love you forever and always Natalia!!! 

Natalia's 35th Birthday is Coming Soon!

October is HERE!   That means its time to do our traditional Service for Natalia for her birthday!!!

 We invite all those who knew and loved her to join us!  Simply comment below to report your service!  DO THIS BY CLICKING ON __COMMENTS BELOW! Or share your service on social media with the hashtag #servicefornatalia.  We would love to know what you did in her honor, but understand if it is to personal.  In that case, just write "1 act of service."

Our family invites you to join us in a project dear to my brother's heart, which I'm sure is dear to Natalia's heart then too;  

As many of you know my brother Phillip lives near Houston, TX.  He has been heavily involved in the rescuing, sheltering, and mucking of those affected by the hurricane.  He has one couple that his church group helped rescue, shelter, and muck their home who does not have insurance, and FEMA is not doing enough to help. They have big hearts and were sheltering their neighbors for a long dark night before they unfortunately found themselves needing to be rescued.  They need to rebuild their home, and lost all their bulk food supply.  We would like to raise some money to help them get back on their feet.  The money we collect will be used to buy a Lowe's/Home Depot gift card, and Costco gift card, that Phillip will personally deliver.  If you would like to donate $5, $10, $15, $20+ to this family you can bring it to Camille or Doris, mail us a check, or send it through Venmo @JCRogers6     

On October 16th we will take the total number of acts of service and display it up by her grave. (Please report by October 15th!)  Our goal is 300 acts of service!  Thanks for helping us celebrate Natalia's life, by the way she lived her life.

Natalia LOVED children, and children LOVED her!  So this year we decided that our family would pack some shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  If you would like to join us, and pack a shoebox for a child, go to THIS LINK,  You are welcome to take it to a donation drop off location, or drop it off to Camille, or Doris' homes.  We know Natalia would LOVE to see more children smile, and especially at Christmas!  Christmas was her FAVORITE!

Natalia's 33rd Birthday Celebration

Each year we set a crazy unrealistic goal of how many acts of service we want to do for Natalia's Birthday, and each year we somehow surpass it. This year the goal was 330 for her 33rd birthday. 392 acts were recorded. Each year as I scroll through the posts of each act done in her honor I can't help but dry the tears that fall from pure gratitude and love for the amazing people in our lives, and the amazing things they are doing. Thank you most deeply for making another ‪#‎ServiceForNatalia‬ year so successful. WE LOVE YOU NATALIA!!!!!!
