I received a letter today……..

Posted On: April 20,2010

From a lady names Nicole who told me about her cousin. She told me that her cousin had a baby girl named Jaida. Jaida was born 3 months premature and weighed only 2 lbs. She passed away the day after she was born. Jaida’s mommy is a single mom and does not have much and is just trying to get through, what must be the worst time in her life. Nicole is also a single mom just getting by. Nicole told me how she went to the grave site of the baby and when she got there she found the grave had no headstone. There was only a stick with a paper attached which told the stats of the baby in the grave. It saddened her, it also saddened me…greatly.

She asked if we could help her cousin. She would help if she could but as I said, she is a single mom and really does not have the extra resources to help.

This is what Blessing in Giving was founded for. To help people like this….in need. These ladies are representative of both of our causes…they are single moms and have a bereavement need. I want to help them. I will keep you updated. Please pray for Nicole and Jaida’s mommy.

Donations needed!

Posted On: December 15,2009

Good afternoon!

I am writing today to pull at your heart strings a little in the hopes that I can get some donations from you…I might as well put it right out there!!

I got a call from Bobbi Gray with Partners in Care at Hendricks Regional Health. She has a family that lost their baby last yer and still have not been able to afford to put a headstone on the grave. She has asked Blessing if we would like to help. YES!  That is all I can think…YES!!!  What an opportunity to help another! I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be going through this, my heart goes out to this family and I want to help.

So, I have committed to asking for donations. I will start here. If you feel lead to help out, please use our donate button and help in any way that you can! No amount is too small! $5.00 is the minimum that our online system will take and that IS GOOD!!!

It is the season to think of others and count our blessings. What a better way could be presented to us than to help one of our fellow sisters and brothers to have closure on a very sad life event that I KNOW  none of us want to find ourselves in.

Bless you ALL !
