Shane-Maree’s Angels have been touching the hearts of those in need of love, hope and care for many years and they continue to spread their message as more people and community groups become involved with this humanitarian project. My Angel network of gifting was inspired by a near death experience in 1997 where I ‘bargained with God’ in prayer for a second chance. I promised to do good things by
others if I could be given the opportunity to continue with my life. Well, the Ambulance doors opened at the local hospital and I was checked over and sent home four hours later on the morning of Christmas Eve. All signs of pneumonia were gone from my body and my prayers were answered, I was blessed with my own life! That was 1997 and I am still keeping my promise. I have been Paying it Forward with Angels of Hope to patients with Cancer, heart disease and other degenerative illnesses. I also gift to families who have lost loved ones to health conditions they were unable to conquer and to those who have disabilities and special needs. I have been Paying it Forward with random acts of kindness to the young women in the SHE Homes in Cambodia, Orphans in Bali, the Queensland Cancer Council, Salvation Army Hostels for Homeless Women and Children, Hopewell Hospice & Paradise Kids - Gold Coast, the Daniel Morecombe Foundation, the patients at Hopewell Hospice, Royal Childrens Hospital Brisbane, Gold Coast Hospital, Robina Hospital, John Flynn Hospital - Tugun, Tweed Heads Hospital, Ballina Hospital, Beaudesert Hospital, Nimbin Hospital and to many people I meet on a daily basis that I am drawn to by a feeling... or a look. Angels of Hope are also gifted to those unfortunate enough to not only be struggling with their illness, but are unsupported, fearful and alone - helping them believe that someone does care about them. I believe that one person can make a difference and if my Angels of Hope can deliver a moment of peace, a feeling of warmth or a smile, then we have achieved a win/win situation with many Blessings.This is an ongoing project as I will never run out of people to share hope, love and comfort with. I hope you are able to share my vision and help me get the message out there that random acts of kindness are a magnificent way to show that we care. Angels of Hope have also been gifted to guests at a wedding. Angels of Hope are also Angels of Friendship, Healing, Compassion, Thanks, Gratitude, Love, Joy, Celebration and anything we want them to be at any time. If you or someone you know would like to sponsor Angels of Hope for gifting to patients in hospitals or to charity groups etc, contact me and join the Rotary Clubs, Lions and Lioness Clubs and Bowls Clubs that gift Angels of Hope with me each Christmas Eve. It is the gifting this time of year that is my celebration of my life and it brings me joy to be able to share Angels of Hope with friends that I have not yet met. I have been blessed on my journey to have met so many amazing people and to have seen such courage and spirit.
