"It all started with a group of women who love to create. We swap our gifts seasonally and have enjoyed getting to know each other through the process. Recently, we gathered a few homemade gifts together to send a basket of goodies to NieNie, a fellow blogger who has inspired all of us and had been going through a rough time. An almost fatal plane crash, severely burned body and surgery after surgery to allow her to live the best life possible. She has lifted us with her amazing example of motherhood and hopefully we brightened her day with our gifts and love.
This was the beginning of a bright idea, to cheer up someone in need with little gifts, either handmade or store bought. We live in various parts of the U.S. sending smiles by mail. Every month, we will feature someone who is in need of some support. If you would like to nominate someone for us to feature, please see the Nominations page. I feel like this something small we can do to help lift someone's burdens. There is no profit or gain, just a sense of peace for giving and helping in someway with the talents we were blessed with. I hope to be able to touch many lives as we send our "smiles" to those in need of a little cheer and happiness!"
Right now they are sponsoring two people to send smiles to. One of them is my dear friend Meka. Meka recently adopted a little boy that had to spend 3 weeks in NICU before he could go home to join their family. Sending Smiles is sponsoring Onesies for Parker. Meka likes polka dots and I am not sending my package until I have at least one onesies with polka dots on it.
I should also mention that Sending Smiles is hosting a giveway if you follow their site.
