Hope Box Donation

In October I had posted that my MOPS group had decided to do Hope Boxes for our service project this year.  You can read my post here about how it all came together as well as my devotion that I gave - A Time to Remember.  

As we started our fundraiser, I truly had no idea where it would end. Our fundraising went on right before the end of the year and we collected over $3100 for Hope Boxes.  I was overjoyed.  It made my heart happy to see that a group of women would embrace this, feel connected to this, and most importantly want to support / minister to women that will go through something so devastating.  Our Hope Box gathering took place March 3rd right before Spencer's 2nd Heavenly Birthday.  We were able to make 80 boxes that night and we then divided the boxes up to be delivered to local hospitals in our area.    


Hope Boxes contain the following:

Bible
One Year Book of Hope
Journal
Book Marks
Information about Hope Mommies
Tissue
Tea and Coffee
Candle
Hand print / Footprint Cards
Personal Note from our MOPS group

Below is pictures from our Hope Box gathering and some of our donations that we made. 






Thank you to these women for your help in making this happen, without you none of this would have been possible.

We were able to make this delivery on Spencer's 2nd Heavenly Birthday to the hospital where he was born.  This was my nurse who assisted my doctor in our delivery with Spencer.  She has a very special place in our my heart and always will.


Our delivery to Texas Children's Hospital.  The boxes were placed in the bereavement room that was created for parents to spend there final moments with their child before Jesus welcomes them into His loving arms.  This was extremely special to myself and my friend (next to me) as both of our boys had LUTO and we were under the same care of doctors.  Her son was born January 2015 and went to be with Jesus in May of the same year.

Thank you for those that made this possible and your prayerful consideration to donate to a ministry that believes in the Hope of Christ.  Thank you for those that helped put the boxes together and prayed over them as we delivered them to hospitals.  Our prayers continue for those families that might receive one of these boxes that they might find comfort, peace, and most of all Hope.
