I Feel the Love Project- Nov./Dec. 2013

Honoring a past recipient by creating 

cards for children who will be 

spending Christmas in the very 

hospital that is treating her!!

Trin

For those of you who are new to this site and project, Trin is an amazing 11 year old young lady who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January of 2012.  The I Feel the Love Project fell in love with this darling girl and honored her as the March 2012 recipient of our handcrafted cards.  We have been following her progress since then and providing medical updates from time to time.  The latest update provided on her Facebook page states that: 

---Sweet Trin has been admitted to the hospital once again to receive platelets.  Her mother wrote that "this beautiful girl's platelets may be low but her spirit is high!"  Trin has had her ups and downs battling this brain tumor.  Trin has returned home from the hospital. 

Look at the photo of this victory!  Trin dresses for school this October!!  This captures her fighting spirit!!

So with the holiday season upon us once more, we decided that we would send cards to the children spending the holiday at Flowers Hospital.  This is the hospital where Trin receives some of her treatments.  If she is feeling up to it, we are hopeful that she even be able to see some of the kids receive their cards.  We will be praying for this to happen.

If you would like to participate in this month's project, we are looking for Christmas/holiday cards for children.  These will be distributed to children spending the holiday in the hospital.  These will be signed cards, or if you would like to make multiple cards, we can have our staff sign them.  It is always fun to include the state or country where you are from.

We are allowing for an extra week this month's project as we want to collect as many cards as possible for the kids who will be spending Christmas in the hospital.  If you would like to be a part of this month's project:

The I Feel the Love Project is happy to announce that we will be partnering with this amazing senior care facility by sending handcrafted Thanksgiving cards to their residents.  We are asking for those of you who would like to be a part of this wonderful opportunity to create a Thanksgiving card(s) to the address listed below by November 7th.  

We are allowing for an extra week this month as there are 200 residents at Chancellors Village and we want to try our hardest to put a card in everyone's hand.  How amazing would that be?  Remember this time we need to sign our cards so that the recipient receives a warm greeting from someone they don't know.  If you send in multiple cards you don't have to sign all of them.  We have a group of individuals who would love to help you out with too!

We appreciate you!!

The I Feel the Love Project just can't thank you enough for all your continued love and support.  As the cards for the August project were boxed up to be sent off to all the SAFEHOME, it was once again a humbling experience to see all the beautiful gifts laid out before us.  We just wish you could share in the experience of seeing how much love goes in these boxes.  The recipients can feel it and are so appreciative.  They tell us in letters that we receive from them.

It is always special to receive cards from new crafters.  A special thank you to those of you who have sent in cards last month for the first time.  I believe that Ms. Angelique is one of those crafters.  Here are the cards we recieved from Ms. Angelique.

Simply beautiful and truly a blessing 

for the people of SAFEHOME.

If you would like to join us this month by creating a handcrafted card for the I Feel the Love Project, we would love to have you.

Lending a hand to the homeless by creating and sending handcrafted, unsigned birthday, encouragement, friendship, and blank cards to lift their spirits!

Hope Ministries has been serving those who are homeless in Des Moines and central Iowa since 1915. We are a Christ-centered, faith-based ministry that provides programs and services for homeless and hungry men, women and children. We are one of the largest non-denominational collaborative efforts in Iowa focused on homelessness and hunger issues. We reach out to the unsheltered and displaced by offering food, clothing, shelter and support through emergency and long-term recovery services.

I Feel the Love Project September 2013

• Hope Ministries provides a long-term comprehensive continuum of care program for homeless and displaced men, women and children.
• Hope Ministries provides the largest number of emergency and recovery beds for the homeless in Central Iowa.
• Our Bethel Mission facility is the largest emergency shelter for homeless men in Iowa, providing 108 beds.
• Our Door of Faith facility provides 102 beds for long-term residential and life recovery for homeless and displaced men.

 

• Our Hope Family Center is a 48-bed facility providing long-term residential and life recovery for homeless and displaced mothers and their children.
• Hope Ministries' Hope Café provides three free meals a day year round to homeless and impoverished men, women and children from the community.
• Our King's Closet program provides voucher privileges to 14 area social service agencies to refer clients, and to churches to refer members, for free clothing at our Hope Bargain Center.
• Our Hope on the Streets outreach program involves staff and volunteers (mobile outreach teams) seeking to identify and help the homeless on the streets of downtown Des Moines and in the skywalks. Our Service and Mission (SAM) Teams involved more than 120 churches and business volunteer groups in 2008 reaching out to the homeless living in remote wooded tent camp sites throughout the metropolitan area.
