This is a very special family and they really need our love and support. Please take a few moments and join the I Feel the Love Project in creating handcrafted cards to send to the parents of Baby Mason to let them know that we are here to give them the support they need during this difficult time in their lives.

Keep the Cards Coming!

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT

The cards continue to arrive for Baby Mason's family, the June 2013 recipients of the I Feel the Love Project handcrafted cards.

With each card that arrives I am reminded that each day is a gift and one too many of us take for granted.  Remember, Baby Mason lost his life when a driver decided to drive drunk and then lose control of his car striking the car that Baby Mason and his family were riding in.  Please share your love and support for his grieving parents by taking a few moments to create a card to share with them.  They will be able to hold onto these treasures forever.  To find out where to send your cards, click HERE.

If you aren't feeling creative you can help by making a small donation to the I Feel the Love Project, which is now a nonprofit, charitable corporation.  Your gift would allow us to purchase gift cards to send to our monthly recipients to purchase items such as food, clothes, gas, and other items that they may need.  100% of your donations go towards these items, as the I Feel the Love Project is run on a strictly volunteer basis.  You can make a donation online by clicking on the Donate icon on the right scroll bar, or learn more about donations by visiting our new website and clicking on the Donation Page, or clicking HERE.

We have launched a new website.  I would like 
to invite you to stop by and check it out.
Feel free to share this site with family and friends. 

Thank you for all your support!

Never forget Baby Mason

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT - Ifeeltheloveproject.org
   
This month the I Feel the Love Project is highlighting a very special little angel, Baby Mason.  Baby Mason received his wings when he was just six months old.  Unfortunately, he was killed when the car he was riding in was struck by a drunk driver.  His family is devastated as you can well imagine.  At the time that this video was taken, Baby Mason was still in the hospital fighting for his life.


As Baby Mason's uncle states in the video, the actions of one person can have life changing consequences for a family.  The driver of the other car chose to drink and drive and that decision changed the Villarreal family forever. 

Although we cannot change the past, we can offer our support and love to help bring about a sense of peace, love, and compassion to this family.  Please join the I Feel the Love Project in creating handcrafted cards to send to the parents of Baby Mason to let them know that we are here to support them through this difficult time in their lives.

1507 and Counting!!

I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT

WE DID IT!!  Or should I say you did it!  Again!  I never had any doubt that we would reach our goal of 1500 cards.  As the month drew to a close and the cards came in for Reggie and Ashley, the numbers grew and we collected a total of 30 cards for Reggie and Ashley bringing our total of cards for the I Feel the Love Project to 1507!!!  I am so happy right now.  

I just announced that because of your loyal following, the I Feel the Love Project is expanding and is now a nonprofit corporation.  This will allow the I Feel the Love Project to raise money so that we can do more for our monthly recipients.  We will be able to send them gift cards to help them with purchases they may need to make, i.e., gas, food, clothes... or maybe even just buy a special toy! 

I also just announced that we now have a new website: 


If you haven't had the chance to check it out yet, please do.

I Feel the Love Project June 2013

Honoring a Precious Child 
Baby Mason
 
This month the I Feel the Love Project will be shining the light on a precious child whose life was cut short because of the careless actions of another.  Please read his story.

Mason's Story:
Those who knew little Mason Villegas knew he was a fighter. Mason was diagnosed with a respiratory condition at birth. His parents frequently visited Valley Baptist Medical Center for check ups. It was this very hospital baby Mason was taken to on a Sunday evening in September of 2012.  He was riding in a car with his mother Yvette and her friend Lyanna Casares when they were struck by a drunk driver. The driver fled the scene and was later tracked down by the police.

"He got the worst of it,” said Billy Villarreal, Mason's uncle. “He got jammed up between the passenger seat, and the whole back seat was just smashed in together, with him in the middle." Mason sustained a fractured skull, a broken nose, and dangerous brain swelling. Sadly, on Wednesday, September 12, 2012, just three days later, baby Mason earned his wings at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, Texas surrounded by his loving family. Baby Mason was just 6 months old.

Villarreal says this has opened his family's eyes to the horrors of drunk driving, and how one person's carelessness can cause such damaging consequences.

Friends, this is a family who desperately needs our love and support.  Not only are they grieving the loss of their precious child, they are also having to deal with the criminal justice system as they fight for justice for Mason.  This month we are asking for sympathy cards, thinking of you, anything appropriate for grieving parents.  Baby Mason's parents are Yvette and Santiago Villega, Jr.  Please consider joining us this month as we honor a child who brought such joy to his family with a smile that captured everyone's heart.  Together we can make a difference.
If you would like to be a part of this project...
