Wonderbug Wednesday – Kristen Timmers

This is the Timmers family. They live in California. This has been a rough year for them. Please read their story here (and buy cookies, because they are amazing).

I want to tell you about Kristen. She’s become someone I consider a friend the last several weeks. We are working on a website together – one I’ve taken on pro-bono because her story has touched me so deeply.

As far as I can tell, there are two forces getting this incredible family through this terribly trying time. One is love, and the other is Kristen.

Kristen’s determination to get her family through this struggle is so awe-inspiring. She’s never once asked for a hand-out from anyone, and is incredibly grateful for all of the small acts of kindness that her family has been shown.

I can’t wait to see Kristen and her family back on top again – back to a point where they aren’t facing medical nightmares and the reality of losing their home.

If you can, please buy cookies. They are the BEST cookies! (They even make vegan and gluten-free ones! I don’t see them on the site currently, but get in touch with Kristen if you want to order them.) If you can’t buy cookies – maybe times are tough for you, too – please consider leaving a comment (here or on Kristen’s site) to remind Kristen that there are people rooting for her and her family.

Kristen’s etsy shop is here, and you can follow her on twitter at inkandpaper.

Note: Wonderbug Wednesday is switching over to a new format. Going forward, instead of an interview with an artist, I’m going to be presenting an individual of my choosing – A creative, remarkable person who has inspired me in some way. Exciting! See you next week.
