{month of thanksgiving} Day 14: An Opportunity to Give

Day 14: Today I am so thankful for an opportunity to give back.  Do you ever feel like you’d love to give, but don’t know where or how?  I feel like that often, which is why I started the “100 Ways to Give” page on my blog (you can find it up there in the menu bar).  I recently came across a wonderful opportunity to add to my list through the blog, Momastery.  She is the brains behind the Holiday Hands program.  Originally, I just went to the website to browse, but was immediately drawn into all of the heartbreaking stories.  In that moment, I knew I could do something. 

I chose a sweet, brave newly single mamma and a box is headed her way this week.  In reality, it’s not much: a small amount to help pay her heating bill, a couple of Barbies for her girls and a cupcake mix for a little holiday family time.  But more importantly, I hope it tells her that she is not alone, that she’s a good mother, that she has worth.  Words every Mamma should hear, rignt?

If you’re interested, be sure to check out the listings.  Remember that there are many, many ways to give!  Financially of course, but you may have skills, connections, gently used clothing that someone may need!
