Today I am introducing my new “GIVE BACK WITH ME” program. Before you skip over this thinking it is just another sales pitch, please give me just a moment of your time.
I want to share with you a story – for those that follow my blog, this may be a refresher but I think it bears repeating….
Many years ago, when I was struggling in my addiction someone made a difference in my daughter’s life. They didn’t judge her because of the bad decisions that I made as a mom. They didn’t judge her because of where we lived. They didn’t judge her PERIOD. They opened their arms and their heart to her. I decided that when I was able – I would make a difference in the lives of other children. There are many children who are struggling because of no fault of their own.
Yes, I am a recovering addict of 25 years. Yes, I made some horrible decisions that made an impact on my daughter. I am blessed that she has turned out to be an AMAZING woman who now makes a difference in the lives of others everyday as a Social Worker.
When I was with the South Jersey AIDS Alliance, I started a children’s program that was once a month. This was a time for kids to be kids. There was art and music therapy. There was games. There was gifts. All designed to take them away from the stress of their lives – yes, kids have stress too. They worry about their parents. They keep secrets about bullying. They often learn early how to survive when things are tough. And unfortunately, sometimes they are never allowed to be a kid.
As I moved on from SJAA, kids remained my heart. Wanting to make them feel special. Wanting them to know that despite the craziness of life, they could still be kids. Now, I am blessed to have my own business and I have the chance to bless others.
To me, the greatest success I can have in my business is knowing that I did what I could to make a difference in another’s life. I know that may sound like a lot of “fluff” but that is what gets me up every day and keeps me mouthing.
Every month from nominations received by YOU – my customers, my readers, my friends and my family – I will send a “You are AWESOME” zipper pouch to a child that YOU want to bless. I will select 1 child per month. The zipper pouch will contain some goodies as well as a letter as to why they are receiving this gift from YOU! Nominations can be made monthly through my blog page
Won’t you help to make a difference in the life of a child? Complete the form below:
OR email me at HopeWs31@gmail.com with your nomination…
In addition, every month a local organization will be the recipient of a monetary donation. I will donate a portion of my commission every month to that organization from YOU my customers. I am so excited to be kicking this off in August
Let’s bring hope and a smile to a child, reminding them that they are special and worthy.
Have a ThirtyOne-derful day!
Hope Wissel
