Hi.  My name is Debbie Spence and I am desperately looking for help.  I recently had an opportunity to do something with some children at a nearby hospital.  I am a teacher and as a hobby I love to scrapbook.  I had some of my students in my student council create scrapbooks for children who are undergoing treatment for various illnesses.  It was full of journal topics and tons of stuff for them to create their own memory books.  It was an excellent way for them to help them through their journey.  Parents were involved and kids had a way to express their emotions and thoughts.  We provided the materials and created the actual scrapbook ourselves- ready for them to fill in the pages in their own creative way.  The outcome was awesome.  I would like to take it a step further and put a spiritual/Christian perspective to it.  I am wondering if there is any grant or agency you know of that might be able to help me with the costs of materials.  I would love to keep doing this for the kids and their parents but the cost can be unbelievabe.  This may sound crazy, but it really was a major hit and I would love the chance to help more children and parents if at all possible.  Who knows- this could be "Heavenly Sent."  :)

Thanks.  I appreciate any- and i do mean ANY- info you could pass on.

Sincerely,

Debbie S.
