Hope for Homeless Kids & Homeless Families

I loved this moving story of a family who has gone through very tough times, but their love for each other remains. Even though they have been displaced from their home, their daughter said she has learned, “our family is our home”.

So many lessons in this moving video, may it give you the hope you need, or the inspiration to reach out to one of your friends or neighbors. So many people going through very challenging times right now, but if we all pause, and look for what we can give (whether it be our time, our love, or our money) every little bit does make a difference. You CAN make a difference!

A great way to say thank you

There are going to be so many times in life when you have to do thank you cards. It might be for a birthday, graduation, a party, or a wedding. There is a fun and creative way to make cards that is cheap!

Take a lot of pictures at the event then on your computer create a card and on the front put pictures from your event then on the back and/or inside write a nice thank you letter letting them know you appreciate the gift or them coming to celebrate for a special event. That way you can print them yourself or go to Walgreen’s. It adds a personal touch from you and that way people have a reason to keep the thank you card and think of you.

An example would be if it’s your graduation on your thank you card you could put your graduation photo, your senior photo and maybe a group shot from the event. It’s something your family and friends will love and you can have fun doing so.
