Thank you all so much!!

Our Adopt a Family 2011 was an amazing success! A big thank you goes out to all of the wonderful thoughtful sponsors who reached out and made a huge impact on 13 Idaho families.  Yes, that’s right, we were able to help 13 families have a brighter Christmas.  I met some very nice people through this project and am so thankful for that.  I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and many blessings for 2012.  It is going to be a great year, I can feel it!

With Love,

Becca

 

Thank you

A big thank you goes out to my dad, who has been driving me around making deliveries the past two evenings.  I am so thankful for all of you who sponsored families.  You have no idea just how much of an impact you made on these families.  It is truly amazing.  I am blessed to have met some fantastic people during the course of this and that has made this the best Christmas I could ask for.

I started this blog three years ago because I believe that if we come together and try to do one good thing where we can we can make a real impact on our community and the people in it.  This Christmas season 13 families will have a brighter holiday and the families who sponsored them will be forever changed too.  I know I am.

I hope you all have a healthy, happy and wonderful Christmas.  Thank you again!!

Bright Blessings,

Becca

 

My mom is amazing!!

I have to post about my mom because in her selfless generosity she sponsored the remaining 3 that needed sponsorship.  This is in addition to her sponsorship of another family.  She has such a big heart and I am so blessed to call her mom

Next year I am going to try and get sponsors early on so that we have committed folks ready and we can hopefully get everyone sponsored!  Thank you to all who helped make this an amazing Christmas Season for 13 fantastic families!

Merry Christmas!!

Becca

Still in need of 3 sponsors

We are not able to take on any more families this season.  We really need 3 more sponsors.  We originally just needed 2 but one has fallen through.  Any help you can provide would be so appreciated.  Even if you are able to sponsor one child in the family that would be very helpful.  Thank you so much!!

Becca

We still need 2 more sponsors!

Adopt a Family Update

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  I wanted to update you that we so far have 8 families sponsored!  Thank you everyone!  It is not too late to put in a request for sponsorship, please email me at project1goodthing@gmail.com and we will do our best to find a sponsor for your family.

We still need sponsors for families, Christmas trees and wrapping paper.   If you are interested in sponsoring please contact me.  My goal is to have all families sponsored and gifts dropped off to me by December 15.  This give me enough time to get them wrapped and delivered to the families.

Thank you all for your participation.  Every little bit helps!!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

 

Brightest Blessings,

Adopt a Family – Update

Hello All!

I just wanted to update you that we so far have 4 families, 3 of which are confirmed as sponsored and 1 who I am waiting to receive confirmation on.  This is so exciting!  If you know a family who needs just a little extra help this Christmas please let me know.  I am doing my best to spread the word and find sponsors for those who need it.  I appreciate all of you who are interested in helping.  This means so much!

I am trying to figure out how to get a Christmas tree or two donated or perhaps someone would like to sponsor a tree for a family.  I know that at least two of the families I am working with will not have a tree unless we can help.  Any donations of wrapping paper is also greatly appreciated.  Thank you again!!  God bless!

Bright Blessings,

Rebecca

 

Adopt a Family Project 2011

It has been so long since I have written a post.  I was inspired to pursue this project this year because of the emails I have been receiving from both people wanting to sponsor, and those in need of sponsorship this Christmas.  It was a calling of sorts, since I haven’t written a post on here in 2 years.  I was reminded of the reasons I began this blog 3 years ago.  I love helping people, but most of all I love to see a community of people come together to spread joy, and goodness.  This makes me unbelievably happy.

So today I kick off the 2011 Adopt a Family Project!  So far we have 2 families in need of sponsorship and 1 sponsor.  I hope we can reach several families this year.  I know times are tough for everyone, so please don’t worry if you can not sponsor an entire family.  Anything you can do will help tremendously.

I will be posting more details in the next few days.  Please let me know if you are in need of sponsorship or would like to sponsor a family this year.  You can email me at project1goodthing@gmail.com.

Thank you all!

Best Blessings,

Rebecca

Do good. Be good. Help each other.

I took some time to peruse my blogroll links for the first time in a while.  I was saddened to find several that either were no longer active sites or had not posted in a VERY long time.  Of course I am not one to talk as my last post was in August and the one before that was in January.  I am pondering what my goals are for this site and I am leaning toward taking it in a more active direction.  I believe that especially during this tough economic times it is so important to stand together as a both a global and local community and help each other out.   Use your talents to create something and donate it to someone in need. Give of your time to an organization who would value it immensely.  Find your place in the community of people and do what you can.  You will be rewarded, I guarantee it.

The Christmas project last year was such a fantastic and rewarding experience, I can not begin to describe it.  I am working on the sponsor project for this holiday right now and will post details as I formalize them.  However I really want to do more.  I want to grow this project into something bigger.

I hope this post finds you all happy and well.  Live meaningfully and mindfully.

Best Blessings -

Rebecca
