"Every Day Is Precious"

in The Tennessean

 

May of 2003, the Tennessean started running columns to help others know how to help a family in need. This page provides links to the online versions of the columns. Columns are listed in chronological order, the most recent first.

We have published a book with the first 30 of these columns and artwork from Darcy for each. Click here to learn more.

If you've been part of (or know of) an activity that has helped a family in need, please let us know.

Though I have continued writing the column each week since beginning, I quit posting the columns here 7/9/04. Click here to find the most recent column on the Tennesean site - just click on the "Every Day Is Precious" headline.
