spread the love card drive challenge

please read on this is truly an awesome grassroots effort to help a young girl and her father in their in grief...

welcome to the Spread the Love Blog Hop. I have the honour to be the first one on your hop to help spread the love for 11 year old Jaimie Cates, who has been the victim of horrible crime. My dear friends Erin and Denise organised this hop to send Jaimie support during this hard time.




Here is some information about what happened:



"On October 4th, 4 teenagers armed with knives broke into a home in a small town in New Hampshire. Alone and sleeping inside were a mother and her 11 year old daughter. These 4 boys broke into this home with the intent to rob and kill anyone inside. They stabbed the mom, Kimberly Cates, to death and left her daughter, Jaimie, for dead in their driveway. It was a completely random act, their home was chosen only due to its secluded surroundings."



Our hope is that everyone hopping around today will stop for a moment and think about Jaimie and her father and what life must be like for them now. One moment in time has changed their lives forever. We are asking that everyone reading this message please take a moment to make a card and send it off to Jaimie. You can make something very simple or much more involved, but please share some words of hope and love and let her know that people do care and want the best for her. Please send your card to the address below:
