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.

Children's Cancer Center: Tampa, Florida

The last couple of weeks have been such a blessing in regard to this ministry. I recently received a thank you email from the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida for the latest box of headbands. In the email, they included three pictures of recipients. What a blessing to see the beautiful faces of these girls! If you go to their facebook page, you can see the pictures they posted at http://www.facebook.com/DailyCCC?fref=ts

I also received a picture from DeeDee in Nevada who sells the headbands with the help of her granddaughters. This is a picture of a picture, so forgive the poor quality. But I love the variety of headbands displayed on these girls!



I'm currently working on another box of headbands for DeeDee as well as one to send to the next hospital. I'm excited to see the way the Lord will continue to lead this ministry in the future and I'm always grateful for all those who have extravagantly supported it. As always, if someone knows of an individual or center who could benefit from a gift of headbands, please contact me!
