More Acts of Courage Beads
Hi All.
Did you know that we (glass beadmakers) donated over 41,000 glass beads last year that were used for Acts of Courage? Acts of Courage beads are those that the child gets to pick out themselves for courage above and beyond and for other times when a caregiver thinks a child needs an extra boost.
So far we help over 10,000 kids around the world through Beads of Courage programs.
Our goal this year was to bring on 10 new hospitals. I've been told that we're projected to far exceed that goal and are on target to bring on 40 new sites this year! I wouldn't be surprised if even more come on board...things are picking up!
You know what that means...
WE NEED MORE ACTS OF COURAGE BEADS!!!
While we always need them, I'm going to ask you for a couple things today and they're nothing that I'm not going to commit to myself...
1. Could you dedicate an hour a week to making Acts of Courage beads? Simple, brightly colored beads work well. Dots, spirals, you name it. (3/32" mandrels).
2. Consider donating to Beads of Courage. As we're growing, our needs are increasing. If you would be interested in a monthly paypal subscription donation, please email or pm me. Just $10 a month, for one year, ($120) sponsors almost FIVE children for a full course of treatment.
3. If you are giving to a program other than Beads of Courage for children with cancer, please consider sending your beads to Beads of Courage. We are becoming the standard in this type of program and it is our goal to provide continuity of treatment in all hospitals. (that means that when a child from one hospital goes to another for a different type of treatment that they will have Beads of Courage wherever they go...not a knock-off program with lesser quality of beads).
Lastly, thank you, thank you, thank you. Beads of Courage would not be so meaningful without all of your support, donations, time, prayers and dedication. I've said it before and I will continue to say it...I am SO proud to be a part of such a giving community of artists!
