Saturday, December 8, 2007, COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS BREAST CANCER
OUTREACH volunteers joined forces with the Villanova University Alumni
Association Orlando Chapter for OPERATION: CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.
17 of us put up Christmas lights and decorated outside an
amazing breast cancer survivor's home.
Faye has been battling breast cancer for almost ten years. She recently
underwent hip replacement surgery and couldn't decorate her home this
year, which was a disappointment for her two young daughters. So we
helped turn that disappointment into Christmas joy. We made sure Faye
and her girls have an elegant and elaborate display this Christmas. And
they love it! And we love them!

On Saturday, November 17, 2007, COMPASSIONATE
HANDS AND HEARTS BREAST CANCER OUTREACH volunteers treated breast cancer
patient Elaine to brunch at one of her favorite restaurants. Elaine
doesn't have family in the area, so we wanted to make this a special day
for her as we enter the holiday season. We surprised her with an amazing
gift basket donated by Michelle Stevens of The Madness of Motherhood.
Volunteer China gave Elaine a book of daily inspirations. And we topped
off the day with a housecleaning service gift certificate for Elaine. |
