Volunteers and some lovely boxes

Jen, Ashley, & Julie (not pictured) ~ 3 of the most wonderful, amazing and crafty women I know. Thank you so {SO} much for your help in making these boxes for {Project Kiddie Hope} I could not have done it without you!

A {BIG} thank you to Kelley from Amy's Angels for sending some of the most beautiful cards for our little Project Kiddie Hope recipients. If you haven't checked out Amy's Angels it's a must.

"We are a group of women who have one goal: To send cards to people who are fighting cancer. Cards are sent free of charge to anyone around the world. These cards are hand crafted and a personal note is written inside each one. It is our hope to make a cancer patients day a little brighter."

Lastly, I was honored to be able to make a box for little Aubree. Aubree is the daughter of my former roommate, Autumn. Autumn is one of those people that you never forget. She has left an imprint on my heart. Last year her youngest was diagnosed with Leukemia. Little Aubree is fighting for her life and Autumn and the rest of her family are struggling to keep it together, be there for Aubree and pray that things will work out for the better.

My hope is that this box & all it's contents will be bring a bit of happiness to Aubree and her family during such a trying time. Autumn I {LOVE} ya and my prayers are with you, Aubree, and your family. xoXO

Wonderful people

My heart is so overwhelmed these past few days.

There are so many wonderful and giving people in this world. In addition to the wonderful women that I wrote about in the last post, I need to add Tammy from Florelle. She has graciously donated all the headbands for the little girls! I have worked with Tammy in the past, have never met her, but her sweet personality has shined and I thank her for her donation!

Project Kiddie Hope is under way. I have a group of wonderful volunteers coming over tomorrow night to help decorate all the boxes for each child. I hope to have all of them mailed out by next week.

My heart has ached as I've read each story of these brave little children. Such a grown up, harsh experience to have to go through at such a young age. I can only pray that these boxes bring a little smile to their face.

We have room for more names if you would like to submit one. Go here for all the information.

Update: Project Kiddie Hope

We still need a few more names for our Project Kiddie Hope.

A group of volunteers are getting together in about 2 weeks to make the boxes for these deserving children and we would love to be able to make 50 boxes.

Send us your names: mynanasbox@yahoo.com

I would also like to tell you about Daddy Mack Hats and Cherry Tree Road who will be sponsoring our project by providing handmade beanies for the boys. Thank you to Katherine and Courtney for their support and for providing such wonderful gifts to such brave little boys. Make sure you check out their shops!
