Thank you 12OW of Edina, MN

Thank you to 12 Ordinary Women in Edina MN for thinking of SFFC! It was such an unexpected surprise. I love when God does that within the body of Christ. He knows our needs so intimately and I am thankful that you listened to His still small voice, and that He led you back to the email that connected us.
This gives me great HOPE in our loving faithful Father, who keeps his covenant of love to a thousand generations.
Would you ask the 12 Ordinary Women to continue to pray for us? God is at work, and there is much resistance, and a lot of really messy situations. He knows and He is able. Isn't it amazing that he invites us to join him in his work through both prayer and action?

On a personal note, my life song is Ordinary People. Some of the words are:
"Just ordinary people, God uses ordinary people. He chooses people who are willing to do what he commands. God uses people who will give him all, no matter how small your all might seem to you - because little becomes much, as you place it in the Master's Hand.

Just like that little lad, who gave Jesus all he had, how the multitude was fed with the fish and the loaves of bread.
What you have may not seem much, but when you yield it to the touch of the Master's loving hand, then you will understand how your life could never be the same..."

So thankful for 12 Ordinary Women doing extraordinary things in Jesus name and for His glory!!
Bless you!

Thank you!

To the 12 Ordinary Women of Charlotte, N.C.~

I would like to thank you all for the surprise visit to our house with a gift of cash and yummy snacks from Trader Joe's! This was such an incredible act of kindness that we appreciated so much during our difficult time.
I had just had a baby via c-section and had to have 2 additional surgeries at the time of delivery. About a week later, our 9 year old daughter had 3 ER trips & then had to be admitted to Levine Children's Hospital for severe headaches and many seizures. She stayed in the hospital for 18 days and was diagnosed with Epilepsy. She is still on 4 different medications and has about 1-2 seizures a day now, and is completing her 3rd grade year doing Homebound School.
My parents stayed with us at our house for 8 weeks and helped us tremendously.... as we now have 5 children ages 11, 9, 6, 2 and now 8 weeks. Lots of friends reached out to help us during this trying time. The most generous and kind act came from you since you do not even know our family. You 12 Ordinary Women of Charlotte, NC did this out of the kindness of your hearts. Bless you and thank you again!

A Charlotte, NC thank you

: I recieved a very generous gift from The Charlotte Nc group today. I am speechless. I was so surprised when a young lady came into my cafe today and presented me with a WONDERFUL GIFT. I am so grateful . I am opening my buisness with limited funds. This was truly a blessing. There are no words to tell you how this will help me. Please let the people responsible for this incredible gift know how much appreciate it. I would like to be involved with making someone else as happy as you have made me. Please tell me how I can help. Thank you again, so much. P R

Thank you for the meaningful gift.

I do not have words adequate to express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness and generosity in providing me with such a meaningful gift. And the surprise and intrigue surrounding its delivery made it even more delightful. I am wearing my necklace now and will use it as my talisman as I continue to traverse through this difficult time for my family and me.

As difficult as this time has been, it has also been such a blessing as it has allowed me to witness the loving kindness and beautiful spirits of so many people such as yourselves.

To all of you who are mothers, I wish you a wonderful day tomorrow.

Thank you so much.

Big thank you from our family.

To all of the wonderful women of this organization. My husband and I have 4 young boys of our own, and are fostering 3 (hopefully 4) of his nieces and nephew. .Their ages are 5months,3,4,5,10,11,13, and hopefully 16.

When deciding if this was the right decision, my husband and I prayed to The Lord to give us guidance and a sign to know that this was our path. On top of all of our family and friends donating, this amazing organization also touched our lives!


The 12 ordinary women heard about our story and blessed up with an extraordinary gift that allowed us to get mattresses, bedding, toiletries, and food for our children(all of them).

Thank you for blessing us, so that we may bless our new family.

A big thank you with some good advice.

I can't stop crying! I received the most amazing envelope today filled with an incredible letter and beautiful necklace. I am so humbled by the kindest of other people. I have no idea who sent this but I want you to know what an overwhelming impact it had on me.
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, I was petrified. My first reaction was not to keep it a secret but to let others know what was going on with me. I figured the more people that knew about my situation the more people that could pray and I wanted them to know my story about how I determined I had breast cancer and the type so I might help others. I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined the outpouring of support and prayers that I have received. It's been beyond my wildest imagination.
When I saw my brother for the first time after my diagnosis, he told me that I will realize there are a lot more good people in this world than bad. At first I had no idea what he meant but let me tell you he was so right! Receiving this letter today is just another example of how amazing, kind and good people really are.
I would never wish cancer on anybody, but I would have to say getting cancer has been one of the worst and best experiences of my life. It's taught me how great God truly is, how powerful prayer can be, how wonderful my family and friends are, how amazing, kind and supportive people that don't even know can be. It's truly made me want to be a better person.
Thank you 12 Ordinary Women for your kind gift. It makes me want to fight harder to beat this disease because I know there are people out there that truly care. But it also reminded me of the responsibility I have to my family and friends to fight this disease. All their love and support makes me want to be a survivor so I can be here for others when and if they need my love and support.
God Bless,

One Humbled Lady

P.s. Without going into a lot of detail about my breast cancer, two things I would recommend if you are ever diagnosed with breast cancer. 1) If you ever find a lump in your breast get a biopsy. 2) Get a second opinion and have all your labs redone and make sure they run the FISH test. These two things that were recommended to me probably saved my life.

Thank You to 12 Ordinary Women of Franklin, Tennessee

Dear Wonderful and Generous Ladies. Words just are not enough to express my deep and joyful gratitude for the lovely necklace and the financial gift you have bestowed upon me. The loss of my husband was devastating, as I am sure some of you may very well understand. Your prayers have been a "priceless" gift during this time. There have been so many times that I felt like falling apart but then a little smile would creep in just from knowing of those wonderful caring people who were lifting me up in prayer and then to find out that 12 Ordinary Women, whose names I don't even know, were also praying for me and loving me ~ thank you immeasurably from my heart for caring and sharing and making such a difference in this one person's life. Faith, Hope and Love and the greatest gift is love and in Christ's Name, I send my love to all of you and give thanks also for the good works that you do.

Brentwood TN thank you

I was greatly surprised and intrigued by an unexpected office visit this past week. The basket full of goodies given to me by two women is greatly appreciated by our family. More importantly, your prayers and thoughtfulness during this very challenging time is very meaningful. May you be richly blessed by God as you carry out His mission.

Thank you in Nashville

I am so overwhelmed, I don't know what to say. I came home yesterday to find a gift bag on my porch. It contained personal toiletries, a box of Dingdongs, and a beautiful card with a large sum of money. I have never heard of your group and I have very few friends, so I have no idea how anyone knew of my situation. I recently lost my full-time job due to new technology. I'm all alone here in Nashville and have no one but myself to depend on. I have been job hunting, but haven't found anything yet. I never dreamed I would be in this situation at this time of my life. I'm 61 and have worked hard my whole life, but it's harder to find a job at my age. I'm confident I will find something, but it's very stressful trying to survive until I do. I have always tried to help other people, but I'm not used to anyone helping me. I would love to join your group and help with the things you do. Thank you so much for the joy I have in my heart today just knowing there are people in the world who do care. Marilyn
