Angels do find us in our hour of need. -- Amy Huffman
What is New Year of Hope ?
New Year of Hope is the "heart child" of Twitter's @blogomomma and @spreadingJoy joining forces to reach out to those in need through the power of social media.
A new age digital ministry raising funds for basic housing or basic needs, providing coaching and encouragement for a self help approach to an improved lifestyle, making connections for vital resources, and sometimes just a shoulder to lean on. Our approach is to impact and change a life so that each recipient can be a blessing to the next. Building a community of paying it forward one person at a time.
New Year Of Hope launched only 45 short days ago in a campaign to make a difference in the new year. Our current campaign recipient is a divorced father of one, hearing impaired, who was facing eviction right at the new year. Literally the face of today's working poor. You can read more under "Is it a Wonderful Life?".
Through the efforts of Marie Wikle of Spreading Joy Corp a (501(c)(3) nonprofit ) (@spreadingJoy on Twitter) she was able to negotiate terms that would allow us to campaign to cover the debt in exchange for reversing the eviction. Exciting!
Don't forget this is ALSO a contest. The tweeter who helps us reach the most people will win a $100 gift card! Click here for contest deets. The contest ends when we reach our goal.
How much more to go? $ 1529.00
