IT’S OUR NINTH ANNUAL HOLIDAY HANDS!!!!!
As we begin our Ninth Holiday Hands, a love project that has made the holidays brighter for more than 5,000 families, I’m thinking back to how it started that day in 2011:
That’s how it started…with a little idea and a lot of love. Here are just two stories about families you showed up for last year:
And those are just TWO of the listings. TWO. Out of hundreds and hundreds. 80 people wrote in simply asking for notes and prayers from us. I tried to count the number of responses to each of those listings and had to stop after the first two, because more than a hundred of us signed up for each. After that I just scrolled and scrolled, with heart overflowing.
That is part of what we did last year, and we’re going to do it again.Let’s get started.Today is the day for folks who need a little extra to post their needs. And if you have a little extra to give this year or you know some folks who do, pleasepleaseplease mark your calendar tomeet us back here on TUESDAY, November 19 to review the requests and find your family match for this holiday season.
PLEASE READ THE HOLIDAY HANDS GUIDELINES:
First: Please read and reread and rereread the instructions before posting a listing or asking questions.
Second: There is a cap of $100 on each request (per family) in order to be able to help as many families as we can navigate the holiday season.
Third: Requests may be submitted to us for a limited time. You will receive a confirmation email once you submit a request—please be sure to check your SPAM e-mail folder. We will keep submissions open until we reach our Holiday Hands capacity (which could happen in a matter of hours or days). Requests will not automatically be posted when submitted and just because a request was submitted does not mean it will necessarily be part of our Holiday Hands program. Rather, we will be collecting and reviewing requests and then we will post the final requests that will be part of Holiday Hands on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19.
Fourth: Every year, after Holiday Hands is shut down, Together Rising continues to receive and fill requests for holiday miracles through mid-December. If you would like to make a one-time or monthly tax-deductible contribution directly to Together Rising to allow us to help those families, please click here to donate.
WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER. LET’S PROVE IT.
