Everyone Can Be An Angel

It doesn't take very much to make life just a little bit better for someone else, even if that someone else is going through difficult times. In fact, there's an organization built around little acts of encouragement and support. It's Angels Sending Hope, Inc.

Here's what ANGELS SENDING HOPE is about: "We are a group of caring individuals (angels) who are dedicated to touching the lives and hearts of individuals, families, and communities who are experiencing difficult times. We are simply trying to put a smile on their faces." They do this by sending cards or letters of hope to those who ask for its help. Not only that, but anyone can join the effort.



So, let's take a look at what they do. There are three different card programs: the Card Program, which sends out cards and letters to those experiencing hard times; the Ronald McDonald House Card Program, which provides cards and letters to Ronald McDonald House, a partner organization with Angels Sending Hope; and the Sunshine Card Program, which focuses on sending greetings to those who are age 55 and older. In addition, there is a Wish List Program, which allows parents of critically ill children to let interested individuals know about their needs through the Amazon Wish List set up for their child. The last is an Angel For An Angel Program, which provides one-to-one contact, through pairing a volunteer with the person requesting that type of assistance. The volunteer provides letters and cards of support and encouragement for their person.

As you can see, Angels Sending Hope provides hope and encouragement through volunteers (angels) to those who request their help. It relies on basic human need to feel belonging to a group. It can often be that sense of not being alone that gets a person through a crisis, or period of difficulty. It is simple and anyone can participate, including individuals who have some health issues themselves.

One mother, whose adult daughter experiences limiting health issues, notes that her daughter is able to participate in the program as a volunteer. This young adult can give the gift of hope by making cards and sending them to others. Her heart goes into the cards and the cards fly over the miles, bringing the gift of hope with them. For those receiving, those words of encouragement bring contact from someone else, who heard their call for help and is offering moral support. Check out this organization and provide hope for your fellow human beings, who need that at a crisis point in their lives.
