4/7 Thank you from Allison

Even though I don’t know how this group came to know my name, I was so very touched yesterday when a sweet gift of hope was brought to my door. There is no underestimating the power of the kindness of others at a time when you feel so alone. It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing and so unexpected. Many, many thanks!

3/26 Thank you for the Bottle of Tears

Thank you for blessing me with the book Sacred Tears, the bottle to remind me God is holding my tears and the necklace of hope. Thank your for sharing Scripture (Words of Life) and for knowing there are those who are watching me walk this new path and holding me up in prayer. I am so grateful.
What a wonderful ministry.

3/25 Thank you from Gwen

I received your card and gift yesterday and I am still stunned by the gesture. I have struggled financially, physically and emotionally for several years. I am single and have lived alone for 33 years. I am blessed with a sister and many great friends for which I greatful. We lost our Mother 3 years ago and she was the first person I wanted to share this blessing. She raised us to believe in God and prayer and we do. I have shared this with every friends I can think of because it was so moving and uplifting. My Landlord is putting my rental home up for sale and I must move in next several months. The gift will be very helpful with the expenses. I hope to start a new life, maybe in a small beach town. Moving that distance wil be more complicated in many ways. A new place to live and finding a job. But this has renewed my faith that God is with me and will help me along the way to make good decisions. I hope soon to be able to be on the giving end and continue your good work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

3/23 Texas thank you from Debbie

Grace,

 

Sorry I missed you yesterday but wanted to thank you, and the other 11  wonderful women, for the thoughtful gift.  I will cherish it and it will provide encouragement.  Knowing there are 12 extraordinary women in Texas who are encouraging  other women who have lost a loved one is also inspiring.   I hope to meet you someday and hear your story.

 

May the Lord provide his blessings to you all for your good and kind deeds.

 

Thank you,

 

Debbie

3/18 Thank you from Roselyn

This message is to express my immense gratitude for your support and kindness. My husband of 41 years passed away on January 7, 2021. It has been such a difficult time.

On Tuesday, March 16, the two beautiful women, Adrienne Whiting and Patti, from your wonderful organization brought so much sunshine to my front door. My heart was smiling when they left. They offered kind expressions and sentiments of encouragement on behalf of all of you. I am humbled and grateful for your support and your generosity.

Thank you for your blessings, thoughts and prayers. Continued blessings to all of you as you continue your worthwhile objective to be a blessing to others.

Roselyn

3/9 A gift of HOPE

I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for the gift bag!! It was filled with such beautiful things - a gorgeous throw blanket, a necklace (which I am already wearing), a sign to remind me that I'm tough, and so much more. I felt so special to receive such a generous and thoughtful gift from a group of people I don't even know. Even though this journey is hard to navigate and it seems like you see the people at the Dr's office as much as you do your family, it is so great to know there are people out there praying and supporting you all the way! Please continue to provide hope to those who need it so desperately.

Love to All,

Elizabeth

Your precious gift couldn’t be more timely!

I returned from my girls getaway feeling down—having seen moms and dads playing with their kids as a whole family unit. Soon I would be taking my son on vacation and those familiar pangs of pain and loss were rising up. It just feels incomplete with just the two of us. And feelings of guilt follow—like why can’t I just enjoy my son on my own. I prayed for God to intervene and bring me renewed motivation and strength to parent my son alone. So your precious gift couldn’t be more timely. Thank you for letting God move through you. He is good and I see that he’s listening.
