About Gifts 2 Help:
Gifts 2 Help was born in my heart as a child. My Mom was always making sure that everyone was taken care of. Whenever we had a death in the family or with a friend, she was the one to coordinate flowers for the family. She would bring food. Whatever needed to be done, my Mom made sure it was taken care of. She was an amazing women. My Mom was my Girl Scout Leader, my brothers, Cub Scout Leader, Team Mom for our soccer teams, Athletic Director for the Football Team, Cheer Mom and so much more. She made sure that everyone received a Birthday Gift and made sure that everyone in the family and all of our friends received Christmas gifts. She was truly amazing!
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to help the homeless. Being in Girl Scouts with my Mom, we were always doing things for our community, senior centers and more. As a teenager, I served in the Homeless Shelter. Serving others has always been a part of my life. It's only natural that my adult life would lead to starting a NonProfit Organization.
When my Mom died in 2007, I knew that my life would be completely different. No one expected my Mom to die so young. The next day, after she died, I started calling all our family and friends to let them know of my Mom's death. One of our family friends was not home. On their answering machine was the sound of his voice, saying this verse, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you Hope and a Future." Jeremiah 29:11. After the recording stopped, I could hardly leave the message because I was in tears. I knew God was speaking to me through that message. All I needed to do was, believe.
Later that year, a dear friend of mine lost her husband on Christmas day. I knew that her first Christmas would be hard for her. So, in 2008, I worked to collect donations to buy Christmas gifts for the girls and the family. We had a nice dinner at Mimi's and Santa came to deliver the gifts. That was my first, unofficial, "Christmas Miracles," event.
Then, fourteen years ago, I started selling Scentsy. With my Scentsy commission, I would help families and schools fundraise. I donated items to families who lost loved ones and anyone who God placed on my heart to help. In 2012, I had another Christmas Miracles event by helping several families with gifts, Christmas dinner and food. Finally, My CPA suggested a Nonprofit. The work to create an official tax exempt Nonprofit Organization began.
So, now, here we have, Gifts 2 Help!
The name is perfectly fitting. My Mom was always giving Gifts!! As a kid I didn't realize how much she gave. It wasn't until I became an adult with my own kids that the realization of all she did, hit me.
This NonProfit Organization, Gifts 2 Help, is dedicated to my Mama.
With Gifts 2 Help, we will serve all those precious people that God places on our hearts.
