I hope everyone is off to a great start in the New Year! No matter your circumstance and what lies ahead, keep the faith! God will not forsake you! Love is a bright light that can give hope to many. It can be as simple as a: smile, kind word, text, phone call, letting someone go in front of you when you are in line or driving and the list goes on and on. Let's share God's love with everyone:)
As we move forward in 2024 please remember the families who have a child with cancer/life-threatening illnesses. They face many challenges including extra financial burdens and stress due to hospital stays. Your support gives hope to these families through our gifts and financial assistance programs. None of us at Angel Heart of Hope have a salary and we can't do this without YOU!
Our annual March fundraiser is fast approaching! This is our only major fundraising event that helps mainly support children with cancer and their families. They need your prayers and support as the number of families needing assistance continues to grow.
We thank all of our volunteers, donors and annual Business Sponsors for YOUR support! We are ALWAYS in need of business annual sponsors to support our families throughout the year and are looking for 2024 Sponsors. This is how we receive some of our greatest amount of funding to help support our programs.
You can help us by sharing this information with businesses you think may be interested in helping these children. You can have them contact: brenda@angelheartofhope.org for a sponsor packet and remind them that we are a 501(c)(3) and that their contributions are tax-deductible.
For businesses to ensure sponsorship recognition on our 2024 "Celebration" fundraising event page they may visit www.angelheartofhope.org/sponsor to purchase a business sponsorship before February 29th or mail a check to: 3620 Pelham Rd. #172, Greenville, SC 29615.
Our Golden Sponsor is Johnston Orthodontics. If you or your child needs an AWESOME orthodontist, look no further, and call 864-877-2929. We are so thankful for the excellent care that they provided to Bella and our family.
Our Silver Sponsor is D&D Motors. If you are looking to buy or sell a vehicle, please don't look any further for excellent service and contact them at 888-253-5950.
Remember our ministry in prayer, the families we serve and the medical teams that care for children with life- threatening illnesses. We are truly humbled and blessed to be on this journey of faith. If you would like me to add your name to the prayer list, please email me at: brenda@angelheartofhope.org and I will update the prayer list regularly. You can also email me with any specific prayer requests that you want me to pray about privately. God is love. Treat everyone with love and kindness.

It is available for purchase on itunes and various music sites. 100% of the proceeds from this song will go towards our ministry! It is a beautiful tribute!

The monthly message is: Love is Powerful.
There were two octogenarians, one from Denmark and the other from Germany. They were an unlikely couple and both were married sixty years before they became widowed.
Even though they lived only fifteen minutes apart, their homes were in separate countries. They fell in love and cooked meals regularly, spending precious time together. Sadly, the Danish government closed the border due to the COVID pandemic. Determined to find a way to spend together, the two met each day at 3pm at the border on a quiet country lane, seated on their respective sides and shared a meal. “We’re here because of love,” the man explained. Their love was stronger than borders, more powerful than a pandemic.
The Song of Songs displays the power of invincible love. “Love is as strong as death,” Solomon insisted. None of us escapes death which is a reality that can’t be broken. And yet love, the writer said, is every bit as strong. Love “burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame.” Have you ever watched a fire exploding in feverish rage? Love-like fire-is impossible to contain. “Many waters cannot quench love.” Not even a raging river can sweep love away.
Human love, whenever it’s selfless and true, offers reflections of these characteristics and is unconditional. Those who have experienced love and loss understand the void that remains which cannot remove the love in our hearts.
Jesus offers each one of us a love that can mend our broken hearts and sustain us because His love is more powerful, compassionate, merciful and most importantly, eternal.
None of us are guaranteed tomorrow and only have today. Spend each day in His love which enables you to fully love others as He loves us, with our imperfections and all.
Prayer: Dear God, I need your love and endless mercy so that I can be a loving example to others in this broken world. Thank you for Your love which is faithful, forgiving, and all powerful to bless a sinner like me.
Scripture verse: Song of Songs 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love.
Wishing you all many blessings,
In Peace and Love,
Brenda
