Recently, I found out that she had collapsed at school and was in need of some cheering up. Marydon asked me if I'd be interested in sending her a little something to brighten her day. Of course, I was more than willing to, and I asked my friend, Tammy if she'd like to send something along in my package. We sent a small quilt and a pair of handknit fingerless gloves to her.
The following week, I told my girlfriends at Paneras about Angel Dawn and asked if anyone was interested in making something to send in another package. Boy, did I get an enthusiastic response!
Kathy made a beautiful knitted shawl so that Angel Dawn can put it over her shoulders if she's feeling a little chill.
Margaret made a cute beaded bracelet and a little beaded pouch necklace (and even placed a bill inside!).
Adele crocheted a beautiful afghan. If you look closely, you'll see that the motif is actually angels!
There are other things, too. Ellen made a crocheted hat. There are colored markers and books, a crocheted bag, and a few girly toiletries, too! I'm just sorry that I don't have more photos to show you of the kind hearts that contributed them.
The package will go in the mail tomorrow and I just know that there is going to be one happy little girl on the receiving end. All of us who have taken part in the giving know that we're receiving much more by our actions. We send a collective hug to a child we've never met, but more than that, we're sending prayers for her complete healing.
If you're moved to contribute something to bring a little sunshine into her day, you can contact either me or Marydon and we'll share an address with you.
PS. Thanks to everyone who sent Birthday wishes to Tag yesterday. We really appreciate all the love and happy thoughts you send our way.
