4 years and over 2,800 baskets donated to + 🤍

I am sitting here, brought to tears, thinking about how one small dream grew into something so beautiful. From 30 baskets in the basement to shelves upon shelves stacked with items that will make their way to kids who need a sense of joy and normalcy the most. It is the greatest honor to be a vessel that ties together people who believe in my mission of spreading hope. The fear of the unknown—especially as a child in the hospital—is far too familiar to me. At face value, yes, these are simply toys, but the purpose they serve is so much greater. I feel so humbled knowing that the trials I have faced have led me to be of service to others.

I serve a big God—one who has called me to be His hands and feet on this earth. I know that I am to care for the sick, the heartbroken, the lost, and those in need. Through Baskets Spreading Hope, I have been given one of many outlets to love others as Jesus loves us. This mission may have started with a call placed on my heart, but it would have gone nowhere without the generosity of those who have joined me. There will never be words that truly capture how deeply grateful I am for each and every person who has been a part of this. I hope that I continue to have the privilege of growing this organization to reach even more children and families facing difficult journeys. I have poured my time, energy, heart, and soul into BSH because I truly believe in what we are doing. If I can bring even a moment of joy, hope, and love to one child, then all of this has been worth it.

I challenge you to spread hope and love one another — no matter what that may look like 🫶🏻

We’re always in need of baskets!

If you’re at Dollar Tree and feel called to support, we’re looking for shoebox-sized plastic bins (with lids) and others similar to these. Every single donation helps us continue in a real, tangible way.

Thank you for being part of this mission 🤍
