The other day my husband received a call from Grace with your Dallas organization and told us that an anonymous friend wanted to give us a gift. We were intrigued with the anonymity, to say the least, and were humbled by the thoughts behind the gift.
My husband had to go to chemo and so I met Grace by myself. We received a gift of cash that was very much appreciated and will go to pay for an outstanding bill. Thank you so very much.
We remain in awe of 12 Ordinary Women.

12 OW visit a hospital in North Dallas
12 Ordinary Women from North Dallas, Tx.
Our family wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your hospital visit to meet our daughter Micaela and the very kind and thoughtful gift of help to our family. Micaela has completed her third round of chemo which was extremely hard on her and her body. Micaela spent twelve days in ICU following this round of chemo due to a heart problem which developed after the chemo most likely caused by a virus with her blood counts being so low. Micaela is back on the 6th floor again doing better and heart function improving, she also received postive results from her bone marrow aspiration as it was free from leukemia cells. She will need to repeat this test again in two weeks and when this test is free from leukemia cells again she can proceed to transplant. Please keep her in your prayers as she moves forward with treatment.
Thank you again for your kindness,
Sincerely,
The White Family
Pajamas in Etown
To the dear ones who sent me the beautiful wreath with gift cards, beautiful pajamas and other treats, many, many thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
I'd love to thank you personally and see whether I can help in your ministry.
From the woman being healed in Etown!
Caught in my curlers!
Ladies,
The horror and embarrassment of coming to my door in my blue fuzzy robe and huge velcro rollers is too much to describe. I thought my babysitter had arrived early! How wonderful was the surprise to be greeted by a precious woman and the cutest little boy ever bringing ME holiday gifts. They were all so thoughtful and meaningful. Being from North Carolina, I treasured the greenery basket that is brightening my bedroom. The delicious pound cake is sure to add inches in unwanted places--but oh well! It was worth it!! I will enjoy telling the story of the bamboo necklace, its meaning and how I came to acquire it, when I wear it. And the "Daily Light" devotional book will surely bring me words of strength and encouragement at just the right time.
I am not sure how I came to be on your list of women to visit, but please know how much I appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. What a way to show Jesus' love through action. Thank you so much.
Gratefully yours,
C T
Stunned!
Hi Ladies : )
Wow, I cannot thank you enough for my gift! I was right in the middle of work when I was handed my pink bag. I was really confused because it is definitely not my birthday and I didn't know why a complete stranger (with a beautiful smile!) was giving me a gift? As soon as I peeked at the card I just felt like crying. Actually, I think I uttered "oh my gosh" because I know the amazing things you women do and how much you help other women, and now I was the woman being helped. I had to wait until my break to find out what I had received and I must say I was so surprised to find out that I was (basically) holding 4 brand new tires in my hands!! I felt so overwhelmed with being thankful and feeling relief. I really just feel like crying as I'm typing this. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
Something I also want you to know is how stunned I am that you ladies chose me this month. I am amazed, humbled, and in awe. I didn't really consider myself to be worthy enough of all of your attention and help. It makes me feel so special and so loved. The card said "from women who care" and I want you to know just how much those 4 words meant to me while looking at my gift.
The act of giving is so powerful and I feel truly truly blessed to have received. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart : )

The answer is YES!
Lovely Ladies,
Are you sure that you delivered the gifts today to the proper address? You have all the names correct, but we do not deserve this overwhelming act of generosity. I have been crying happy tears most of the day. The best part of this experience is that you thought of my girls, Natalie and Jenna. They now know that God loves them because the kindness of anonymous strangers like you. We will remember being blessed today for no reason for the rest of our lives.
I will submit something for your blog once I can think! I have already gotten 3 texts from my 15 year old at school. She is asking if I still feel like I am dreaming, and the answer is yes!
I think that you are all incredible for allowing yourselves to be used as God's vessel.
You gals rock!

Timing was prefect!
Hi 12 ordinary women,
I wanted to thank you all, whoever you may be, for the generous gift delivered to me today. I can't begin to tell you how grateful and overwhelmed my husband and I both are for this huge blessing. The timing was so perfect too, we needed to get some checks yesterday to send with al the immigration papers but didnt have all the money to cash it at the bank and were hoping to do so today... Now we can do so without going broke !
Thank you soooo much, God bless you hearts and the amazing ministry to bless other people.
We will pray for you and if you want to pray for us we will appreciate that too =) (you could pray that the whole greencard process for me goes smoothly and we can find stable jobs on the side while doing photography, which is what we love to do.)
God bless,
M & R
New Here!
Thank you all so much for the incredible blessing that you gave me today with your beautiful and delicious gift basket. I was having such a hard morning with issues of being new to the community and your gift brightened my day and felt like a kiss from Heaven. Thank you so much for all you do. You have truly made a difference in my life and my families. May God Bless each of you extra-ordinary women for your act of love and kindness. Jane
Practically needed and a great encouragement!
Hi,
How wonderful when God takes us ordinary people and does extraordinary things. I feel the blessing of God through your gift to me/us. Though I know that, like Paul, I can be content in all circumstances, like him also I am blessed by the church being the church. I’ve been daily trying to keep my focus on Jesus as the circumstances of life sometimes challenge me. What a great place to grow in Him. Your gift is both practically needed and a great encouragement of God’s faithfulness. Thank-you so much my anonymous sisters.
With love in Him,
Cindy
