Plymouth, MN thank you.

I can’t tell you what a blessing and surprise it was for our family to receive the gift baskets this week. When my 22 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last January it was as if our world fell apart. She has been undergoing chemo for the past 11 months and it has taken a toll on her both physically and emotionally. Words can’t express how wonderful it was to see her go through the basket to open each special gift; it brought tears of joy. It came at the perfect time because later that evening she came down with a fever and ended up in the hospital. She will be in for several days and some of the items in the basket were perfect for taking to the hospital to help brighten her day. My son was so excited to be included as well. The individual notes of encouragement have been so helpful in providing me with strength and support knowing that there are 12 wonderful women out there that are praying for us during a difficult time. It makes you feel less alone and helpless. There is strength in God, His word and His wonderful angels that were part of this basket. You are a life line. Even though my daughter has another 18 months of chemo, we are encouraged that she is in remission and are hopeful that she will beat the cancer and fully recover. God bless you all for your thoughtfulness in providing joy and hope…you are making a difference!

Oh my goodness!!!

My dear, dear son, Matt, died on July 8, and I have been a heartbroken mess ever since, going through the motions of life, but not doing it very well. Today, my daughter and I attempted Christmas shopping, but I do think that when we are together, it makes us even more sad. I got home and saw something by my front door. So I opened the trunk of my car to retrieve my packages and walked over to see what was there, by my door. I found a lovely spruce holiday planter, and a large basket filled with things. I brought the basket inside and went back out. A car pulled in my driveway and a lady got out and came up to me. She asked if I found the basket, and I said, yes. I thanked her over and over and said--"I don't even know who you are". She said "I know. We just wanted to brighten your day." We hugged and hugged, and I cried. Then she left. I want you to know that this meant so very much to me. And I want to get involved to help another sad lady, and another, and another. God Bless you all.


Kentucky thank you.

Thank you for being a glimpse of hope, for being the hands and feet of Jesus and loving on others. Your gift made me feel loved and cared for by God in the midst of my loneliness and suffering. May God bless each and everyone of you.

Thank this group of 12 unknown women to me...

To you 12,

My heart wells up!! This is happening much lately!! Family, Friends, neighbors, old friends reconnecting all the way from HS & college days....and more new angels that I am meeting everyday since just one month ago finding out that I will battle this breast cancer foe!!  

Now, you, this group of 12 unknown women to me, showing up out of the blue! Thank you so much for the gift!
Soon I will be wearing new hair & I have applied this gift toward that purchase. I will most likely face this side effect this week & I have to say it's emotional for me. (As it would be for most of us women) It just further confirms I'm sick & I have to keep taking that in a little more each day...and also keep taking in what is being done to get me well! And that's where the hope is & anticipation! I fully feel I will be healed!

My survivor friends say I'm now part of a new sisterhood, one that none of us wanted to be in! So here it is & thank you for the surprise of support! May all of you be doubly blessed this Christmas season & I will send up prayers for you as God knows you well.

With Much love & appreciation,
Shelley

Medina, MN Thank You 11/19

Dear 12 Extra-ordinary women, It was a sweet thing that you have done for my daughter and me! I feel the hug of God through your thoughtfulness. The gifts and scripture notes are a lovely reminder that I am loved by the King of Kings!

Unfortunately, mental illness still has many stigmas attached to it, so sometimes you feel like you are suffering in silence. It has been a difficult recovery and six months, but you have just made it easier and you have bolstered my daughter's faith in the process.

God bless you all!

from the heart-Thank You 11/18

 I don't even have the words to express how overwhelmed I am right now with gratitude. I just stumbled upon this incredibly kind gesture and it has reached me at a time where I have been wondering where else I can find the strength to go on. Yet I continue to put one foot in front of the other and hope and pray for a sign that things will get better. I don't know who you are, but you are an angel, and you have reminded me of the good that surrounds me every day. This humbling experience in my life has brought some of the most genuine hearts into my life. Thank you. How can I give back???
