Cards for a friend in need

[its_kristy]

One of my friends lost her 7 year old boy last week due to an accidental drowning and I would love it anyone having any extra time or cards on their hands could send her and her husband a card.

Their son was home from school on a snow day and was out sledding in their backyard. They hadn't seen him for about 1/2 hour and my friend's husband went looking for him and saw a tear in the swimming pool cover. Her husband called 911 and then jumped in trying to look for their son but there was so much ice and so little visibility they couldn't tell if he was in there. When the emergency crews arrived, they found him under the tarp and life-flighted him to the hospital where he died the next day.

Losing a family member is always difficult but losing a young child is so tragic. I know they would appreciate any cards at this time.

Cards can be sent to:

Matt & Jill Klaveano
1552 Klaveano Road
Thornton, WA 99176

If you feel odd about them wondering who sent the card and how they know you, you can mention my name: Kristy Y.

Hi Kristy,

I wouldn't post their address here, it's public and viewable to anyone. People should pm you to get their address, or you should gather and deliver the cards to them.

Well it's too late, I can't edit the info. Gathering cards isn't an option either because I travel 50% with my job and am gone for weeks at a time--doing that wouldn't allow for timely delivery of the cards. Besides, their address is publicly listed in the phone book, I'm not sure that public disclosure of this information all that sensitive?
