**BIG NEWS: It's been over a year in the making, but the IRS has officially recognized Heartstrings & Angel Wings as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization! Thank you for all the continuing support and for believing in us and our mission to clothe our smallest miracles!
**Thank you to all who came out to the Paper Trail fundraising event on July 10th. It was a lot of fun!
EVENTS
**Our next workday is Saturday August 7, from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. Please remember that you do not have to know how to sew to come to workday and help out. We will get you working even if you do not know how to sew. Also, if you would like to come by and drop items off, please do! We are so in need right now - we depleted our "stash" last month for huge deliveries to all hospitals. We appreciate all of our volunteers for their hardwork and dedication. We're doing more for babies now than we ever have, and that is so exciting! We are making a difference in more and more lives by the day. Thank you!
**If you need directions to workday, please email heartstrings_angelwings@yahoo.com

Angels Coming Out to Play
(Author Unknown)
Angels coming out to play
Angels touch our life each day.
Though we may not know they're there
There are angels...everywhere!
Angels can cause a heart to sing...
Angels give our spirits wings!
An angel's touch can bring God so near
An angel's smile...can dry a tear.
Have you felt a tug on you heartstrings?
Chances are it was caused by angel wings.
They flutter softly in the light...
Shimmering with edges so gold so bright.
We mere mortals to earth are bound,
Angels trod on holy ground.
So next time you are feeling low,
Remember...angels are there...
Wherever you go!
