Ames couple’s ICU wedding brings community together

When life threw a curveball, Tim and Stephanie Couser didn’t let it stop them from sharing their wedding day with Stephanie’s mom. With just hours’ notice, hospital staff at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames turned an ICU into a bridal suite, complete with a cake, flowers, and even a nurse-turned-photographer. The whole community rallied to make sure Marlys, Stephanie’s terminally ill mother, could be there for her daughter’s vows. This story is a powerful reminder of how love and kindness can shine brightest in life’s toughest moments. How has your community come together in unexpected ways? #Relationships #Ames #CommunityLove

Our elderly neighbor was alone, so we "kidnapped" her for dinner.

Seeing her lights off, I knew she was by herself again. My husband and I went over with hot food and insisted she join us. She told us stories about this neighborhood from 50 years ago. Don't let anyone spend Christmas alone—it only takes one extra chair. #Neighbors #CommunityLove #ElderlyCare #Kindness
