A Miracle On Chive Drive
Donation protected
Mr. Rogers famously said,
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
That gave me an idea. I took Mr. Rogers advice and started looking. I had Jen Holub email dozens of Chive Chapters to find that one helper who has selflessly spent their 2020 giving back. We added one wrinkle – that person would be the one we helped. We are going to help the helpers. Kinda’ cool, eh?
In an overwhelming instance of Chivers helping Chivers, nominations poured in from around the country. One name quickly rose to the top, Josh Arney.
When I went to check out Josh’s Facebook page he and his wife, Rachel, were organizing a food drive for the local homeless population. Josh’s passion for cooking motivated him to create his own spice line called Joe Bob’s Seasoning. Rather than trying to sell it to Chivers, he RAK’d it to them across the country.
Josh Co-owns Legacy physical therapy in Harvest, AL. So many locals have lost their jobs and therefore their insurance coverage that Josh has been eating costs to continue their treatments so they don’t suffer further – this kindness has taken him further into financial struggles but he continues to help others. He has always refused to charge veterans for any services rendered.
The man is a human highlight reel of generosity.
Josh’s wife, Rachel, is an admin for ChivEducation. A horrible car accident in the early 2000’s left her with lingering thyroid problems. In 2013, Rachel was diagnosed with Crohn’s and colitis. The family is unable to afford the medicine she needs. Josh’s Daughter, Fiona, was diagnosed with ADHD last year.
This is the immediate need. The Arney family home has a window problem. The old single pane windows are not insulated or sealable. These windows do not hold any heat in the winter and also mold easily with condensation. This causes mold inside the home and makes the home impossible to heat. The windows exacerbate all of Rachel’s existing health conditions.
Right now Josh and his family have their backs against the wall. They’ve done so much to help others in theCHIVE community maybe it’s time we step up on their behalf and give them a last minute miracle on Chive Drive?
We’ve set up this GoFundMe on the Arney’s behalf. The goal is $10,000 to get the Arneys brand new windows for their home as soon as possible. Anything above the goal will go towards Rachel’s mounting medical bills.
If you are a member of theCHIVE community, you know how much Josh has done to make the world 10% Happier.
Josh and Rachel, for once just sit back and let us help. You’ve done more than enough for now.
