Mom goes on the road to spread hope!
“I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHER HURTING PEOPLE!”
Why did I travel 7000 miles in a gold van - decorated with stars and angels - rented from Budget - to spread hope?
Why did I make 50,000 angel pins to give away to strangers nationwide?
What did I learn about the goodness of others as I asked thousands of people the simple questions:
DO YOU NEED HOPE? ARE YOU OVERWHELMED? DO YOU NEED A TEAM OF ANGELS?
Why did I sell my house and my van - and use the $30,000 proceeds to follow my dream despite all of the naysayers who thought I had cracked up?
(It is not that I am foolhardy; I have an MBA in Finance from Saint Joseph’s University and I went to Villanova University to be a teacher. I have written and published a few books.)
Why was I searching for 50,000 overwhelmed people to help?
What lesson did a beautiful, young heroin addict waiting outside a detox center in Boston teach me about parenting?
How did a middle-aged West Virginian mother with a 19-year-old daughter serving 45 years in a federal prison show me what really matters in life?
How did Erma, a Disney employee from Epcot, help me put my marriage back together?
What do I think of the 30,000 letters and e-mails that I received from the 78,500 people who have my angel pins?
Why did I pass out thousands of my TEAM OF ANGELS pins to hospital emergency room patients, addiction centers, disabled veterans, 5000 soldiers in the Middle East desert, and grief support groups? (I created the pin and the accompanying poem during a crisis in my own life.)
What made me leave baskets and plastic bags filled with thousands of Angel pins in the bathrooms of highway rest stops, Pizza Huts, Cracker Barrels, Holiday Inns, toll booths and to folks with broken down vehicles on the side of the road?
Why do I keep a large basket of Angel pins on my front porch in Pennsylvania, with a sign that says: FREE ANGEL PINS TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE –PLEASE KNOCK IF YOU NEED MORE?
HOW DID I FIND VETERANS WEARING MY TEAM OF ANGELS PIN IN A CROWD OF 44,689 PEOPLE AT A PHILLIES GAME?
