Monday, September 29, 2008 - Hopeful Farm Foundation
Hey Guys! So this is important, we know these people who are doing a thing called Hopeful Farm Foundation, which, I think this post will pretty well explain this. It's actually someone else's email that I want to copy and paste so I can show you guys this. It hasn't quite gotten completely started yet, we have to raise $74,000 dollars or more.......So if anyone wants to make a donation that'd be great! I've already made a donation by the way, it was $75 dollars, it's not much, but it will help, any little bit helps. :) So here's the post:
Dear Friends,
I would like to take a moment this morning to invite you and your children to participate in a very special event that is going on this week - something your family is just going to love to be a part of!
Many of you are familiar with our company publishing company Remembrance Press, home of the The Gift of Family Writing and The Girlhood Home Companion. This summer we began a new chapter in our lives with the founding of Hopeful Farm, a non-profit organization based in Kentucky that ministers to families impacted by special needs.
The vision for Hopeful Farm was planted in our hearts ten years ago, after the birth and death of their fourth child, Nicholas, who was born with a genetic syndrome. Now, Hopeful Farm is finally becoming a reality.
The mission of Hopeful Farm is truly unique and much needed as it seeks to provide an all-access environment in which families impacted by special needs may find time to focus on each other, build relationships, and gain refreshment and renewal in an escape from the exhausting grind of everyday life.
This is the first time Hopeful Farm has held a benefit of this magnitude, and you will not believe the resources that are being donated as a thank you for your participation. If you have been wanting some of my writing or drawing products to enrich your home school curriculum, not to mention our resources for mothers and daughters, this is something you have to see! www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/benefit.htm
Not only that, but my publishing friends have donated some incredible resources as well, as a way to bless you for becoming involved in this very important work. Your family can have a direct impact on families with children with special needs - and in return, your own family will receive a blessing from all of the wonderful companies that have offered their products in support of Hopeful Farm.
If you would like to hear what Hopeful Farm is all about, you can access an online interview by Cindy Rushton with my daughter Claire and I at www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/interview.html
This benefit will run for one week only until Sunday, October 5th, so take a look now...and please tell a friend or three or four about it!
Thank you and God bless,
Jill Novak

I don't know how much that explains, but i hope it helps, anyway, if you just go to the website which is:
www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org
I did read this by the way, and I'll be doing a lot more Sign Language, and I'll also be teaching some to the family who's doing it (even though I don't know it all the way lol). If you guys can donate that's great, if not, that's fine to. :) Well, I guess I'll just end my post, so bye.
