Last summer our friends had a catastrophic house fire and lost everything they owned except what they wore to work that day. For the past 10 months they have been living in an insurance provided condo and working with architects/builders designing their new home. Fortunately their insurance company came thru after a bit of dickering {and a bit of legal pressure}. I know my friend is still traumatized by the fire and having a horrendous time at work, she is an ER nurse and the hospital has just been bought out, her daughter is mental health issues and I know the thought of starting from scratch is going to push her right to the edge. She is a great friend to us {and to MANY other people} and I really want to help.
{yeah, there is a point} As the house is built and they begin furnishing it I would like to have some kind of a "Shower" for her once she picks out her themes, colors, etc. Not to get involved in the decorating, of course, but helping out in the "finishing". I can't call it a shower, and isn't a housewarming given by the homeowners? So I'm a bit stumped. Or do you think it's overstepping? Please be honest.
I realize it's several months down the road, but I'd like to start thinking about getting this organized and talking with a few other girls to see what they think location wise, etc.
thanx for ANY input.
