I had a visit today from a group of women called 12 ordinary women, they dropped off a gift and note at my office in Newburgh, IN. Basically just recognizing the struggle and journey I had helping my husband through the last year in his dealing with a spinal cord injury. It has been a challenging year and it was such a nice gesture. I have no idea who nominated me or how they heard about us but it was so appreciated.
Mason, Ohio thank you
I don't know how to thank you for your kindness. it's been two months today since my son died by suicide, and two and a half years since my husband suddenly passed. I never dreamed my life would go down the path it has. But, thru this, I have found that there are some really good people in this world. To think that a group of strangers would reach out to me and do something so kind is just incredible. you've touched my heart.
thank you!

Thank for helping me get my teeth fixed!
How did the is happen. The burdens were really getting me down, felt overwhelmed by how to get my teeth taken care of and still pay the bills this month. Then the knick and the basket that was literally the exact funds I needed to get my two teeth pulled.
Restores my faith quite aoundly.
Thank you for your kindness. It has made a big direct impact today. It was such a God send.

6 months ago, I left abusive family relationships with this verse in my heart – “When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” – Psalm 27:10. I left everything I had ever known in faith that God will somehow provide for me. I didn't have anywhere to go. I had some money saved up, but not enough to sustain me long term. After a few months of living in my car, the money started to dwindle. I sold what I could, but it was usually only enough to feed me for one day. I began to lose my hope. At times, I even felt abandoned by God. I knew I had done the right thing by leaving, but I didn't understand why the pain wasn't ending. It was like I had only traded one kind of suffering for another. Just when I thought there was no way out for me, God provided me with everything I needed. Sometimes in very serendipitous ways that no amount of rational thinking could dismiss as mere coincidence. It was like God was holding my hand. I now have a safe place to stay and loving people looking out for me. And today, I came home to find an envelope on my pillow. It contained some cash and a 2 gift cards, along with one of my favorite Bible verses: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11. It is difficult to put in words how much this meant to me. Not just the money, which will help me with my physical needs, but for the renewed sense of hope and faith that I now have not only in God, but in God's people. A lifetime of abuse left me with a distorted view of the world. I found it very difficult to open up to or trust anyone. It was even difficult for me to accept help from anyone for awhile, because I had never known help that wasn't conditional. The amount of unconditional love and support I have received in these past few months has healed my broken heart in ways that I didn't know I could be healed. Living through what I have lived through, I can tell you by experience the most valuable thing you can give to someone who is suffering is hope. That is what this gift represents to me, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
Thank you. I love you.

Minnetonka Thank You.
My husband was laid off work 2 weeks ago and it's been a bit stressful with a large family and bills. On Saturday while he was home with our boys he had a visit from 2 nice ladies whom he has never met before. They left a delicious meal and a monetary gift that will be so helpful! For us it was God saying “Don't worry. I'm going to take care of you.” What a faith building experience for us, and for our kids to see how God works through the kindness of others. We will never forget what you have done for us and your obedience to the Lord. We are forever thankful:) God bless you

Bards town Kentucky thank you.
I have never heard of your group until today,when a cute young lady showed up at the dialysis clinic where I work as a nurse and handed me an envelope with my name upon it. Inside this envelope was a handwritten note from someone letting me know that a group of ladies were praying for me and my husband along with a monetary blessing. You see, my husband has just been told that if he chooses to forgo chemo (which he has been for doing for 6 years along with way too many surgeries) that he has approximately 4-6 months to live. This gift has made me realize that there are so many good women out there and that we do need to step up and help each other more. I do not know who you are, but, I love you and just know that I intend to try to do my part to help others. I will never forget this act of kindness, may God Bless You All!
love and support from a group of strangers calling themselves 12 “Ordinary” Women
Today, I received an act of kindness, love and support from a group of strangers calling themselves 12 “Ordinary” Women. To these women, I say Thank You for touching my heart, lifting my spirits and reminding me that through God all things are possible. During this challenging time in my life and in the life of my family, we have seen an outpouring of love, compassion and support from others. God is alive and well on Earth and he places people in our lives when we are right on the brink of falling short of his grace. This was one of those days for me; and I will never forget this day, when God placed 12 “Extraordinary” Women in my path to strengthen my faith; and touch my life forever. Thank you.
You are in my prayers.

My mother passed away 2 weeks ago after a long illness. She was my best friend and I miss her. Last week I received a beautiful orchard with a lovely, touching note. It filled my heart with joy because it was my Mom's favorite flower. Thank you so much to your organization, I am truly touched by your love and generosity. You are all special angels. I will cherish the moment forever.
