Hope Mommies


After our son Jackson went to Heaven last summer, I was added to a group called Hope Mommies, it exists to bring the Hope of Christ to bereaved mothers and their families experiencing infant loss.  It has truly been one of the best things for me!  I have found so much support & healing from these women & they truly help me find peace & hope when I need it.
One of the ways that we help other grieving moms and families is by providing Hope Boxes to hospitals and individuals that we find out about.  The Hope Boxes contain a brochure about our Hope Mommies group, a bracelet to give them a reminder of their identity as a Hope Mom, some comfort items like bath soap, candles, lotion, etc., a small journal, a biblical grief book,  a bible, bookmarks with specific verses about grief, a hand written note from another Hope Mom who has grieved and found hope along the way, coffee, tea, kleenexes, and other similar comforting items.  These boxes cost $50-$75 to put together because we want them to be special and meaningful.  We prefer that you send us monetary donations instead of purchasing items for us so that the Hope Boxes will all look similar and have the same type items in each one.
We are hosting a bake sale to help fund the assembly of Hope Boxes for moms in our area at the East doors of the Big Spring Wal-Mart on Saturday, April 13, 2013 from 7:00 A.M. until we sell out.  If you would like to donate baked goods and/or money please contact us!
We would love to start a support group in this area for moms who are hurting and want to help others through their grief!  We would like to meet once a month and check on each other while we put together Hope Boxes for other moms.  If you are interested in joining us, please let us know :)
You can donate online by going to hopemommies.org/hope-boxes and donate in honor of a Hope Mom & Baby that you know or you can contact me at 325-203-6384 and the boxes you sponsor will be donated locally.  Thank you in advance for your prayers and donations, they are all greatly appreciated!
