Headbands of Hope

In May of 2011, my dear friend, Sara Swenson, lost her fight with cancer. Watching her battle the terrible disease, I gained a whole new level of empathy for cancer patients. While I rejoice that she is in heaven with her Savior, my heart goes out to others who are fighting the same fight. In January of 2012, The Lord gave me this incredible ministry opportunity of creating headbands for cancer patients. Andrea Potloff, another close friend mine and Sara's, has joined me in this effort and we plan to send a box of headbands to a hospital every month. We feel so blessed to be able to offer a glimmer of hope to those who so desperately need it. By purchasing a headband, you cover the cost for a cancer patient's headband as well. If you are interested in purchasing one, send me an email with your order at amythompson2324@yahoo.com.

The first box is off!

The tags have arrived!
Not only did Sheri design and order the tags, but she took the time to round the edges and punch hearts in all 200 of them! 
THANK YOU, SHERI!


Here is the front...




and the back...



I am so in love with how they turned out. 


After a couple months of planning, crafting, and the culmination of many friend's and family member's help coming together, the first box of 20 headbands was sent to the UCSF Children's Hospital today!





I'm so thankful for the support I've been given and I'm overwhelmingly humbled by the way the Lord has clearly had His hand in this ministry. Can't wait to send the next box and see what else He has in store!

Almost Ready to Send...

With over 70 headbands ready to send, I anxiously await mailing the first package to cancer patients at the Children's Hospital at UCSF, where Sara received her treatments. I'm so thankful that Sheri Warren, a good friend and talented graphic designer, has volunteered to design the hang tags. Once this final step is completed, the first group of headbands are ready to send!
