Gift of Hope Christmas Team 2011

 

 

Hundreds of mittens, socks, and chap-sticks are currently being packed and readied for the Gift of Hope Team to carry over to Romania the first week of December for HHMI’s annual Christmas program.  A 5 member team will deliver gifts to over 1,500 orphans, children, staff, and families in need.  Romanian spiritual ministry staff and volunteers will deliver a Christmas devotional and from YOUR generosity an age appropriate Christian book, fresh fruit, food staples and sweets will be compassionately delivered.

For many of the children we will deliver gifts to, this will be their only gift and celebration of God’s greatest gift, His son.  At camp we hear from the children how much the Christmas gifts mean to them, from Placement Center staff, we hear what a meaningful tradition it is for children who look forward to our annual visit at this special time of year.  On behalf of all who will be touched by Christmas love and grace this season, we thank you for adding ‘one more’ to your Christmas list!  Will you HELP?

Sweet Dreams of Hope Benefit Auction 2011 Success!!!!

 

The Sweet Dreams of Hope Benefit Auction and Dinners held in Portland and California provided a wonderful opportunity for past, present, and future volunteers and donors to catch up with one another and to hear directly from Rebeca, volunteers from Camp and Easter Teams, HHMI Board Members, and Debbie.

Pictured at Left:  Long-time volunteer, Gloria Bernard (right) and friend Bianca, shared her love of serving and bringing joy and the love of Christ to children in need in Romania.  Gloria has been volunteering in Romania since 1995 and completed her 9th trip this past spring on the Gift from the Heart Easter Team.

The financial focus of the fundraiser was on raising funds for desperately needed new bunk-beds and mattresses at Camp of the Good Shepherd, funds for the Christmas Gift of Hope program, and operating expenses at the Home of Hope Transition Home for young women.

The miniature bunk-beds, which served as centerpieces, were lovingly designed and made by Brian Quiner.  A time consuming project that provided a wonderful visual reminder of the evening’s purpose of providing a safe and clean environment for children at camp.  The little pillows featured pictures of children who attended camp this past summer.

The two evenings raised $20,990.00 and $21,200.00 respectively and combined with our generous $20,000.00 matching grant, will provide approximately 30% of our entire yearly operating budget.  We are so grateful for the generosity of all who attended and or sent donations. THANK YOU!
