From thriveandgrit.org “Megan and Jacquelyn are sisters who were born and raised in Lancaster PA. Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer just 5 days after her 30th birthday in December of 2016. Only 9 months after giving birth to her beautiful baby boy, her diagnosis is considered pregnancy related. Jacquelyn and Megan both immediately felt a sense of community as so many around them reached out and shared their amazing stories and experiences. They were inspired to help other women by creating awareness, assisting with prevention, supporting those battling, and donating to research.”
Part of what they do is support community women who are battling breast cancer. They provide them with care packages full of comforting items. The girls and I worked together to purchase things off their list of desired items.
Things like journals, leggings, blankets, and tea are just a few on their list.
It’s just a small way for us to give to support women going through what will likely be the most challenging time in their life. It felt especially good to support Thrive and Grit because I’m raising little women. I’m sure everyone reading this can name multiple women they know who have had breast cancer and recognize the reality that it could be me or one of my girls going through it.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 ESV “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
I’m so grateful for these girls who give joyfully. It is my hope that this year of generosity will stay with them for their entire lives.
