I hear you...I see you

Thank you so, so much for your incredible kindness to me last Monday... It was so thoughtful, so generous.  Two nights before, I had been crying out to God, feeling overwhelmed...  

We experienced the loss of our baby son four years ago, followed by three miscarriages.  When we finally carried our baby to full-term and delivered our baby girl last year, we found out at her birth she has Down Syndrome.   She is healthy, such a joy, and now we can't imagine life without her, but her diagnosis was a shock and When I think about the future and how different it will be from what we expected, I find myself grieving again.  Grieving the loss of how I thought life was supposed to turn out.

When I got your gift, I cried.  It was like God was saying, "I hear you.  I see you.". Thank you so much!!  The massage, the pedicure, the facial... Everything was so beautifully put together, from the fine china to the Real Simple magazine, to the vintage napkins--there was love in those details! I was amazed!  So were the ladies who worked at the spa.  When I told them it was from a group of women who wanted to give it anonymously, they were stunned.  Two of them said they would like to find out more about 12 ordinary women and join it themselves.  Truth be told, it seemed like a holy moment as we talked about what you all had done.  I will never forget your kindness.  


Thank you so much,

NS

Facing a homeless shelter...

 

What a touching, literally *touching* moment...
I felt lost and didn't know which way to turn.. Facing a homeless shelter.. My heart ached. I had just mentioned to my daughter "God knows my heart he understands my soul, he understands our needs" Not 30 minutes went by when my phone rang. It was GRACE she said "someone recommend us to you and we have a gift for you" I was in shock.. I thought who else could it be but GOD ALMIGHTY! HE really does understand me and what we are facing!! He is SO AMAZING!!! This organization was a blessing to me and my brave daughter she even received her own personal gift WOW! We are and will be FOREVER GRATEFUL!!! A HUGE thanks from the bottom of our hearts!

Belated Thank You Texas!

This is a belated, but no less appreciated, heartfelt "thank you" for the generosity of the 12 (Extra)Ordinary Women in the Lake Travis, TX area who provided assistance in our time of need. I was fortunate enough to coach an amazing team of 4th grade girls ("The Ladies") this school year in their Destination Imagination (D.I.) journey. D.I. is a non-profit profit program guided by volunteers and devoted to helping students gain wide-ranging skills and practical life experiences as they explore a variety of mind-boggling challenges. The coolest part is that the team must produce all of their ideas independently. The Ladies worked incredibly hard all school year in order to develop and present a movie trailer as a live, theatrical performance depicting the interactions of characters from two nations. They were required to design a cinematic special effect, create an original soundtrack to complement the movie trailer, write their own script, and design and create their own props, scenery, and costumes. This was an amazing undertaking for a group of six 4th graders - and this was only part of their overall competition!

The team was awesome - they achieved 1st place at the Regional D.I. competition, allowing them to advance to the State competition where they achieved 3rd place and qualified to advance to D.I. Global Finals in Tennessee! With this success, The Ladies then had only a few weeks to raise over $5,000 in order to be able to attend the competition. This is where the HUGE THANK YOU comes in for 12 Ordinary Women, who donated to our team and helped us to make this opportunity happen for our girls. The girls had a fabulous trip where they achieved 15th place out of 57 international teams in their division!! They performed beautifully, learned valuable life lessons and formed many memories along the way. We truly appreciate the help of 12 Ordinary Women. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Grace called...

 

Good Morning!!

I just wanted to say thank you for blessing me in such a way today!! I am so grateful and appreciative to be a recipient of the kindness and generosity of your organization! Wow!!


Everyday I wake in prayer, thanking God for my blessings and pray that I will be open to receive whatever He has in store for me and with the phone call from Grace, it was a true blessing!


Maybe you all understand or possibly have no idea how this gift comes at a time in my life where I am working so hard to improve my financial position;, this is an absolute answer to my prayers!! The hardships I have endured over the past several years have been tremendous and while I strongly believe I have weathered the real estate storm, everyday I continue to overcome adversity!


I will be able to gift someone else in the near future and would love to know how is that accomplished?


Kindest regards and thank you from the depths of my heart,

Dearly 12 Ordinary Women,

It has been less than an hour and I am still in shock. This is simply amazing. The act of kindness by this group shows how mighty God truly is.

A few months ago, my newborn was diagnosed Cystic Fibrosis. This has been a challenge, especially since it took 8 months to finally figure out. We have had our ups and downs and today was defiantly an “up”!

As medications and monthly visits add up, we were struggling. Then, out of no where, I received a call and a lady from 12 Ordinary Women showed up and handed me a card. What was inside was the sweetest letter and a gift. This paid for a month supplies of medications she has to have. Words cannot describe the over-whelming joy and encouragement this gift brings.

Any cards and notes we recieve, my wife and I keep. One day, when CF stands for “Cure Found”, we want to show our daughter the love and support she received during the difficult part of her life. Thank you for being apart of that and showing that you do not have to know a person to make a difference! God bless.

Giving you a little "happy"in your time of need.

 
It is truly amazing how God sends people in your life just when you need them. The month of May had been pretty hard for me. My son had been sick from his chemo and it seemed we were at the hospital or doctor's office more than we were at home. When my husband brought home a beautifully wrapped gift for me from some undisclosed women. He said, someone stopped by the office and just said to give this to me. When I opened my gift, I was overwhelmed by the generosity of someone I don't even know. I was given a beautiful necklace and a relaxing hour message and the sweetest letter. It is the most humbling experience to have a group of women you don't know who are praying for you and giving you a little "Happy" in your time of need. I don't now who you are but I am blown away at the stories and your thoughtfulness. God has been my rock and to see his hands at work through people like you is so humbling. I just want you to know how much I appreciate your gift and I hope one day I will be able to do the same for someone else.


May God continue to bless each of you, 12 Ordinary Women,
