Katie | #PorchProject

Katie said the outside chaos has forced so much wonderful family time. She and her amazing family have been hanging out around the kitchen and unfinished basement. They have a ping pong table, a lot of gym stuff and an art corner. They also hang out with their 3 Frechies, Lady Annabelle (1.5) Sir Oliver (1.5) and sit Henry Rollins (almost 1).

They do homework, bake, and cook, and she said: "iIt's been really delightful actually." Her son loves being online on the computer with his friends and her daughter was even allowed to download SnapChat (only until life returns to normal) she and her friends laugh and giggle all day long about the most random things. :)

She said the most challenging part is thinking about the crushing sadness of the sick and their families. Katie is furloughed, but that isn't what makes her sad. She said sometimes she cries when she is alone thinking about the hardships some people are going through.

She thought that her son missing his 16th birthday trip to Hawaii and her daughter missing seeing Billie Eilish for her 12th birthday would crush them, but that they’re not even concerned in the slightest

<3 This family is an inspiring and optimistic one. I'm lucky to have met them during my Porch Project journey.
