“The clots had moved to my lungs. Because of this, I spent all of February and March in the house. I couldn’t walk without a walker or go up stairs for much of it. It’s was terribly isolating; but the women of Collingswood came together and delivered us meals all throughout. I’ve never felt so grateful and humbled by the generosity of others. I’ve also never felt so connected to my community, until now.”

The rest of humanity is joining me as a shut in just as I was ready to emerge.

The most difficult part is that when this is "over" things will never be the same as before. I'm just trying to remain hopeful that things will shift for a better future for our kids.

Everything is better with the other, and having each other somehow makes this all bearable. I think it will only strengthen our resolve as a couple and team.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and this has been pretty scary.

Coronavirus aside, I’m excited to raise my child here. They say it takes a village and Collingswood is up to the task.
