Tonight we are honored to present our new charity for 2011..... The Fairy Godmother Project!
The Fairy Godmother Project is a project of NEWMS (New Expectations for Women in Mississippi). It is a special project of CREATE, Inc. Which lends credibility to the project.
It is the brainchild of many philanthropic women in North Mississippi. It was started only about a year ago from the desire of these women to be able to help those who are less fortunate in our area. Some examples of things that they have done are:
1. An was an elderly couple in our area who both had cancer and were receiving chemo treatments, were sleeping on the floor because they did not have a bed. The Fairy Godmothers provided the couple a bed, linens and pillows.
2. When a daycare for low income parents did not have shelving for the books and learning materials for their children - the Fairy Godmothers provided the funds necessary to build shelves for the daycare.
3. When a young mother graduated from the nursing assistant program, but did not have the money to buy her uniforms to start her new job, The Fairy Godmothers bought her uniforms so that she could start her new job with pride and provide for her children.
There will be more to come later, including the new poster, I just couldn't wait to let eveyone know.
Thanks to all those who attended tonight's social! and a special thanks to Mrs. Deborah Tierce for giving us the tools to be movtivated to move forward.
