We know it has been an incredibly hard year for everyone. We've also had our challenges. We have found that the best way to get through hard times is to help others. We have found great joy in being able to help bring a little happiness to others during this year. We have continued to make masks and comfort gifts and bring them to Children's. We have also seen a great need for other organizations in the community. We were blessed over the last couple of months to to be able to make masks and collect items to bring to Hope's Door and Love Pac's. These are both amazing organizations in the community that help others in need. If there is anything that we learned this year, it is that we all have the ability to bless others. We gave a mask to a worker while donating our old items to Goodwill and she started crying and said thank you. That showed us how powerful kindness can be in hard times. We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Even in a hard year, there is a lot to be thankful for.

It has been long few months but we have been trying to make to best of it by helping those most in need right now. One of the things that brings us the most joy is being able to talk to and bring comfort items to people fighting cancer. The pandemic has changed a lot of things. We are not able to directly see cancer patients but we still can make comfort items for them and continue to pray for them. We have also seen the increased need for people in the community to have essential items. We have spent the last several months making masks and putting together essential items for those most in need.

Children's Hospital is still very close to our heart. We were also able to sew masks for Children's Hospital and put together comfort items for kids who have to be hospitalized and are trying very hard to be strong and brave. We really hope we can make a small impact on someones day during these uncertain times.

We hope everyone is staying safe! It's been a hard few months being quarantined. We can't go anywhere except our backyard or around the block on walks! We know it is especially hard for essential workers who have to go to work to help others. We have spent some of our extra time thinking of how we can help. We've made some protective masks and have had them delivered to essential workers around the city. The one thing that was challenging for us (besides learning how to sew the masks), was how to get kids to wear them. Masks are not very comfortable to wear, especially for kids. We decided to attach the masks to super hero eye wear for little kids and also add capes. We also gave these to the kids of essential workers. We heard they loved them. That makes us sooooooooo happy! We also added buttons to hats so adults could put the strings around hat buttons if they want instead of their ears. This makes wearing the masks more comfortable for grownups. We will continue to think of ways we can help those most in need during this scary time in the world. The biggest thing we are also doing is praying. We pray that this pandemic will soon be over and that people can get back together again.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day. We had a great week making and delivering pillows, chocolates and gifts to Texas Oncology and Children's Hospital. It is the best feeling in the world to be able to make someone smile who is fighting to get better. We hope these pillows and gifts bring some comfort and love to people battling cancer. We love you and are praying for you. Happy Valentines Day!
