Today's Mail: 39 cards!! Love just keeps pouring in!!

We were so excited when we opened today's mail.  We received a total of 39 cards for the children at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center.  Three of the cards were from Ms. Karen, a first time contributor from Georgia!  Thank you Ms. Karen for the beautiful cards.

We also received cards from California from the Bills family.  We just love when families get together and make cards.  The children in this family who contributed cards range in ages from 6-12!  Way to go Bills family.


 

 In addition, we received more cards from the wonderful group of seniors from Belmont Village Senior Living. These cards came from the facilities in California and Illinois. One group had the cards sealed in the envelopes so we left them as is for this photo.  The other group shared advice from the heart with the recipients.  Such a sweet gesture.  We thank you very much for all the cards that were sent it!

All of our cards can be viewed in the February 2014 photo gallery. 

Just a reminder, we launched our March project and we will be sending cards to Maddy, a sweet little girl who is currently battling acute lymphocytic leukemia.  If you would like to learn more about this project, click HERE.   

Once again, thank you to all of you who continue to support our cards for causes project month after month and to those of you who are new!  We are happy that you have joined us in spreading love and support one card at a time.

We were so excited when we opened today's mail.  We received 28 cards for the children at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center from a group of seniors from Belmont Village Senior Living.  These wonderful people hail from Arizona and the sweet cards they made for the kids will surely bring smiles to their faces. 

Thank you to everyone who made cards for the February 2014 I Feel the Love Project.  The final count is not in yet, but it looks like we will be able to send over 300 cards to the hospital. 

Just a reminder, we launched our March project and we will be sending cards to Maddy, a sweet little girl who is currently battling acute lymphocytic leukemia.  If you would like to learn more about this project, click HERE.

Who Would Steal from a Child? - I Feel the Love Project March 2014

When a jar filled with cash was stolen from a restaurant in a small Central California town, the restaurant owners and customers were shocked and dismayed. This was not an ordinary jar sitting on the counter for the purpose of leaving a tip – this was a special jar, filled with heartfelt notes and monetary donations for a very special little girl, 6-year-old Madelyn “Maddy” Gonzales, our I Feel the Love Project March 2014 card recipient. 

Diagnosed in the fall of 2013 with acute lymphocytic leukemia, Maddy often travels with her family – mom, dad, and older sister – for treatments. The stolen jar of cash, filled with donations from community members, would have helped to offset some of the expenses incurred by the family.
“I was sad when I found out,” Jessica Gonzales said. “Just to know that there’s people out there that would do something like that. I’m not naïve, and I know things like this happen, but when it directly affects my daughter, well, it’s just sad.” And what was Maddy’s reaction when she heard the news a few days later?

“She said ‘That’s just stupid!’ when I told her what had happened,” Gonzales said. “Then she said she was sorry for using a bad word; she doesn’t like saying ‘stupid.’ She’s a sweet little girl and for this theft to happen was just not right.”

 I Feel the Love Project- March 2014

After reading Maddy's story, we knew that she was our girl for our March project.  The exciting news for me is that for the first time since project #1 (June 2011), this is a local project for me and I get to hand deliver the box of goodies to Maddy.  That will be an extra special day!  

Please join us this month as we create handcrafted greetings cards to send to Maddy. If you would like to be a part of this month's project:
