Simply Amazing

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT

A message from Madison:
Simply Amazing --
These are the only words I can use to describe the thoughts I have for the month of September. Originally I put out a call for 70 Halloween cards to cover the number of kids who actually reside at Casa Pacifica.  Well, the I Feel the Love Project received 200 cards which is the total number of kids who attend class at the school, and reside at the facility.  Because of your love, support, and generosity, every single child will receive a Halloween card!  How great is that?  I am so happy, humbled, and just honored to be a part of this special project.  Thank you all so much for all of your hard work and dedication to the I Feel the Love Project.

Tomorrow we will be launching our 15th project.  It will be another special project that I am sure you will want to be a part of.  Thank you again for lending all your talents.

Enjoy your day!

Over the Top!!


I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT

Wow, what a great day.  Can I just say that I am in complete awe of you fabulous crafters!!  The call went out and the call was answered:)  What an amazing blessing to Casa Pacifica.

The I Feel the Love Project asked for 70 cards for the month of September to send to the children who live at Casa Pacifica, a facility that meets kids and families at the most challenging times of their lives and helps them overcome some of life’s most difficult circumstances, including abuse and neglect, complex emotional and behavioral issues, and family crises.

As of today, this goal was met and surpassed.  The I Feel the Love Project has now received at least 80 cards for the month of September.  You will see 50 cards posted in the photo gallery, but one post includes a single photo of 31 cards. 

What I didn't tell you at the beginning was that Casa Pacifica also has school children who attend class there but do not live at the facility.  All of the extra cards will be going to the kids in these classes.  I am so excited that we will be albe to reach some of them as well.  This is fabulous!!  Can I just say again how much you all touch my heart each month with your continued support.

I have some great things in the works.  You will learn more about them soon.  For now, thank you so much for all that you do.  The word is spreading and that is amazing.  Together we can bring love and support to those in need.

It is not too late to join us for this month's project.

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT

Wow, what a great day.  Today the mail was full of cards for the I Feel the Love Project.  We are creeping ever so close to our goal of 70 cards for Casa Pacifica.  I know we can reach our goal of 70 cards by the end of the month. 

Thanks so much to all of you who have sent in cards so far.  I really appreciate it.  I know the kids are getting excited for their party.  They deserve this and so much more.  Here are a few cards to inspire you sent in by your fellow crafters and supporters of the IFTL Project:

The I Feel the Love Project will be making Halloween Cards during the month of September (handed out during the month of October) to be given to the kids who live at Casa Pacifica. Each year the facility has an amazing Halloween party for the kids. It is our goal to send a card to at least each child who lives there to help celebrate this occasion. We will need to make at least 70 cards. I know we can do this!! These kids deserve our love and support! (Please keep cards fun and cheery, nothing scary or evil).

The children at Casa Pacifica will be so excited to see all the amazing cards arrive just in time to celebrate their Halloween party. To learn more about Casa Pacifica click HERE.

I Feel the Love Project- September 2012

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT


I Feel the Love Project September 2012




Mission statement taken from the Casa Pacifica webite: "We meet kids and families at the most challenging times of their lives and help them overcome some of life’s most difficult circumstances – abuse and neglect, complex emotional and behavioral issues, and family crises. We restore hope, help children find joy in daily living, and improve families’ chances at making a better life for themselves and at finding a place in their community where they can be successful. Casa Pacifica is committed to children unconditionally over time and through all of life’s ups and downs.



Headquartered on a rural 24-acre campus five miles from the Pacific Ocean, Casa Pacifica serves abused and neglected children and adolescents, and those with severe emotional, social, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Our primary service area is California’s Central Coast, but referrals come from all over. We provide a comprehensive array of state of the art services to meet the varied and complex needs of children, youth and emerging adults in our care..."




It was learned that there are currently around 200 kids who attend school at Casa Pacifica and approximately 70 kids who live at the facility.
