Thompson Station, TN thank you

My name Is Mark and I live in Thompsons Station TN. My wife just called me and told me that someone was coming to the door and bringing something. She said she didn't know who it was but someone knew them. I Answered the door to a very sweet women. I think I was in to much pain and wasn't thinking to ask her name,we had a very nice talk. She had handed me a card which we have been receiving a lot of get well cards. After she left I went in the kitchen and opened the card and to my surprise it had money in it. I started to cry from the generosity from complete strangers. I own my own hair salon and I work by my self. Not only do we have bills at home but we have all the bills at the salon. This has been such a blessing to our family since I have been out of work close to a Three weeks. One of the first thing that happened at the trama unit when my wife first saw me is I just broke down in tears not knowing what we were going to do about our bills. From the bottom of my heart I am so thankful and grateful for the gift of money to my family which came at such a pivital time. We have been blown away by everyone. I hope you know that your ministry is amazing and it takes such a weight away from families in need. I sit here writing this and am overwhelmed from 12 ordinary women. Thank you so much, I can't convey how much this means to our family.

A Franklin, TN thank you.

I live in Franklin, TN and received two generous gifts last week. One was in the mailbox in a beautiful card with Bible verses and the other was hand delivered to my husband when I was away. It also was in a beautiful card with Bible verses and a card from 12 Ordinary Women. This was so touching to our entire family. Our three teenage girls could not believe how thoughtful and sweet this was coming from anonymous woman! I immediately thought of the 12 disciples of Christ who were 12 ordinary men. The Lord has been so very faithful to us! This gift touched my heart so deeply and it was truly needed at this time! I love the necklace with the tree of life and “HOPE” written on it. I will wear this each day to remind me of these women who cared enough about me to send this wonderful anonymous gift!!! You are not ordinary, but extraordinary and I know that the Lord is so pleased with you all! Thank you again for bringing me hope,love, kindness, and compassion! I will remember this all of my life and be forever thankful for your generosity! May the Lord bless each one of you!

Please thank the Special Lady that came to my home.

My name is Maureen and I live in Grand Rapids MI. I lost my husband in January at the young age of 48 unexpectedly. I am a widow at the age of 48 with two children. I want to thank the Special Lady that came to my home to deliver the gift card. I am so humbled that she did that act of kindness. I was not home. Please tell that Special Lady thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank You,

Thank you for the tree in our son's name

This email is long overdue, but I want to say thank you to the 12 Ordinary Women of Franklin, TN. My son passed away almost a year ago at 22 years old. We received a generous gift and card from this fantastic group of women during a very difficult time. It helped make our burden a little lighter.

We especially love the tree they are donating in my son's name. I do have a question for them. We are wanting to plant the tree where he is buried in Alabama and not in Tennessee where the tree planter is located. Is there a connection for this in the Birmingham, Alabama area?

Thank you

I received a gift from you all today. I appreciate it very much. It made me cry, but It was very sweet. My kids and I will appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I almost threw the envelope away!

A surprise knock at the door today lead to an unexpected surprise. Two very nice women were standing there and one of them pronounced my name (correctly) questioning, did they have the right address. That threw me, as no one pronounces my name right! I thought, do I know them? I know my life is I upside down right now, but am I starting to forget people who know me too?! Mind you this all happened in a span of 5 seconds. One of the women handed me an envelope and said there was a note inside that would explain everything and slightly shrugged her shoulders like she had no idea what was going on. They smiled and left. I'm a not a very trusting person anymore so I brought the envelope in and set on the table and stared at it for a while before I opened it. I don't know what I was afraid of but all these different scenarios of what I might find in that envelope scared me. I wasn't sure I was going to open it at all. I considered throwing it out. When I finally did open it , I found a short, simple loving letter of encouragement and some money for a journey I'm about to take. You ladies are wonderful people and just what I needed at this time. Thank you so much!
