APRIL MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Miami VA Medical Center, Healthcare for Homeless Veterans Program
Description of Organization:
The Healthcare for Homeless Veterans provides a full services including healthcare, dental, rehabilitative and placement services for homeless veterans in the greater South Florida area. These veterans range from the aged Vietnam vets to the younger vets of the various middle east campaigns of the past decades. Their in-residence hospital facility is looking for cards for the staff to give to the patients during their stay.
CONTACT PERSON: Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by: Gina Moore - traingina TYPE OF CARDS: They�re looking for Encouragement and Inspirational cards, Well Done, Congratulations, etc, to encourage and recognize a patient�s achievements and progress while in their care. Some Birthday, Thank You and even blank cards would also be appreciated. Any size card is appreciated as long as they have envelopes. Please leave room inside for staff to pen in personal messages. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: No Religious or Overtly Military themes. Glitter is OK! No Plastic Sleeves or blog/email addresses please. They prefer the recipients not know who the specific donors are.
GUIDELINES: Please keep in mind, we are representing SCS by sending our cards each month. Recycling is always good, but only use products on your cards that you would like to receive on cards. Also, our card donations are not tax deductible and it is not required. Please do not ask for a receipt. There have been groups that will send thank you's but the "referred by" person keeps us informed and passes on the thank you's. Most of these organizations are volunteers and spend countless hours helping others, lets help make their jobs easier and bless them in helping others.
MAILING ADDRESS: Please do not mail cards during April 12-19, Regina will be out of town and does not want to overload the small town post office. Regina Moore CFC-VA Medical Center 615 Cleveland Ave Lehigh Acres, FL 33972
For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not. This months optional challenge is to use some type of watercoloring. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC38 so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this months gallery C4AC38 click here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link. Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge
Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!
Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of January!
Once you have mailed them come back to us here and let us know they have gone postal!
Thank YOU!

Ladies - This is my first time hosting anything like this and I'm already in awe! I've posted and donated to Cards for a Cause for a while -but never realized how heartening the "I'm in" type postings and little notes were until becoming a hostess and seeing it myself! I am certainly I awe - and humbled - and have a very different take on the value of those quick notes I posted thinking they were being ignored!
Ladies, please bear with as i learn the finer points on how to use the forum.
For this past week I've received cards from:
Cheermom - 12
DLS881 - 3
DSP245 - 13
They are all beautiful cards - that i will try to get better pictures of!!!
Thank you So Much!!!!
And as a reminder - Please - I'm away for business for a little over a week this month and will be putting a mail hold on - please try to watch your shipping dates so as not to overload my small town postmaster!
I forgot to drop by and say "I'm in" for this month. I'll be mailing 20 cards to you next week. Thanks for the great cause and enabling me to use a stamp set for the first time that I've had for a year. It was perfect for masculine encouragement cards!
I'm definitely in, Theresa. I'll send 10 out after 4/19. I'm very involved in veterans, so I'm happy to help the staff out. Great place to send our cards.

Here is another design that I used a sentiment "Life's roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors"- I hope this sentiment is OK :-) It is from an ODBD set but did not have Scripture, so if not appropriate, please let me know....
