3/13 Greensboro NC thank you

I was the lucky and surprised and touched and moved recipient of a lovely gift basket from you. I would like to thank you for the sweet gesture and for "seeing" me. We are in the middle of a long and hard battle with my sister and pancreatic cancer. Our family has rallied together and we all have our roles as we navigate this "new normal." While I would do everything with out a nod of praise, to be recognized brought me to tears because there are days when I know what I am doing or trying to do is not enough. But I will continue to do what I can for her each and everyday.


I am not sure how your "extra" ordinary group works, but I would like to help or volunteer in some way. The way you all made me feel was amazing, and I'd like to be a part of making someone else feel that same way in the face of despair or the trials of life.


If there is a way to volunteer, please let me know, if not, please accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation.


With love and gratitude,

Karan

3/10 To the 12 ordinary women of Isanti County

To the 12 ordinary women of Isanti County: First of all you are not ordinary, your extraordinary!! I was so thrilled when the florist delivered the GORGEOUS bouquet 💐 of flowers....THANK YOU SO MUCH....I love them so much and to think they came anonymously ♥️♥️. When I opened the card , I found the real gift and blessing, the gift of money is so generous!! Maybe I will use it to go tap dancing !! 🥿 you never know, thank you 🙂. The real gift is the love, support , generosity and prayers from each one of you, you have no idea how comforting it is to know you (12 Ordinary Women) are willing to go on this journey with me. You are my gift from our Lord Jesus, I know He will bless you for reaching out to one of His children. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU... Love Pat.

3/8 We could never express the joy we experienced with the visit we received from two ladies with 12 Ordinary Women.

We could never express the joy we experienced with the visit we received from two ladies with 12 Ordinary Women.  They lifted our spirits with their cheer and amazing gifts.  We were completely shocked and so humbled to be honored with being selected.  We suffered a terrible shock after I was attacked by dogs, cracked my back, and our 12 year old dog was killed.  We will forever remember your kindness and concern.  Your organization spreads hope where it has been stretched.  Thank you and God bless your cause.

3/8 What y’all do by simply sending an encouraging note is amazing

I have to start by saying thank you! What y’all do by simply sending an encouraging note is amazing! I worked late last night and was pretty tired this morning when I checked the mail. I opened your letter and was brought to tears! My recent engagement has been such a blessing but bringing together a blended family has its challenges. Your letter was uplifting and so thoughtful! It fills my heart to know there are people out there praying for us, cheering us on, lifting Rich and I up as we figure this thing out. He and I read it together and I cannot tell you how happy it made us. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Whoever you wonderful women are, keep it up! Because you’re kindness and grace is appreciated more than you know! God bless you all!

3/4 a gratitude journal

Wow Wow WOW!!! What a surprise and what a gift! I was really struggling this morning and journaling with God and talking with Him about doing a gratitude journal for Lent this year. And then this beautiful lady at my door surprised me with a box full of love and surprises! Along with those treats was a gratitude journal and a bracelet that said 'Grateful'. Wow!

Thank you for being God's love to me today. I needed it! Thank you 12 Ordinary Women for your extraordinary love and grace!

2/28 This was so unexpected!

Wow!!!! What a surprise tonight. The doorbell rang and my husband said it was for me. There stood a lovely lady and handed me a card and said you were nominated and accepted for this gift. Handed me the card and said there is a note inside that explained who/what they were and said have a good evening. Opened it up after she left and was so surprised to see what was inside. This was so unexpected and came at a great time as this was a rough week with my special needs daughter being sick for 4 days and holding her all night and most of the days. Lower back hurting from holding her. Thank you to the mystery person. I so very much appreciate it. God bless and love to all. SJ

2/27 “Faith & Hope” stopped me.

Just yesterday I sat in my home praying out loud to God just how Thankful I am to be blessed by so many wonderful and amazing people in my life through my heartache and pain of losing my entire family In less than 9 months the amount of love that has been poured over me has been more than anyone could imagine I arrived at work today being stopped in the parking lot by two Angels “Faith” and “Hope” who presented me with an incredible gift just for me and a sweet and encouraging letter so once again Thank you Jesus for placing these wonderful women (angels) in my path today and blessing me once again

2/25 I’m sorry I didn’t answer the door.

I am so sorry I did not answer the door today but I am sick. I think I have food poisoning. This too shall pass as did the effects of chemo and radiation. Thank goodness.

Thank you all so much for the kind bounty of gifts left at my door this morning. Who were the women who left them?

What a great organization. When I’m feeling better I will look further into your group. I did sign up for your newsletter.

2/18 Before today, I have not heard of 12 Ordinary Woman.

I want to sincerely thank 12 Ordinary Women for their huge hearts, thoughtfulness, generosity and caring. Today, when I arrived to work, I received a beautiful surprise gift that was left by the door of my place of employment. Before today, I have not heard of 12 Ordinary Woman. This amazing group of woman, know how to touch my heart and fill my eyes with tears. I was completely at a loss for words by your generosity. The guardian angel will be worn by Kassidey daily and she will be reminded that she will always be guided and protected and I will hang mine near for a daily reminder to myself as well. I may never know who the individual or groups are that helped me and my family, but please know I am so very grateful!!! Words cannot thank you enough and I hope to one day be able to give this warm feeling to someone else. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
