Send a Note of Encouragement

Donations HoustonWhat would you say if you had the opportunity to share a few words of encouragement with a child receiving care at Star of Hope? This is an opportunity for you to do just that.

Next month children from Women & Family Emergency Shelter, Transitional Living Center and New Horizons will head back to school.  Thanks to the generous support of friends and donors, every one of these children will step onto the bus and into their classroom with everything they need to succeed. New school uniforms, new shoes and a backpack full of supplies!

You can add to their excitement and joy by writing a short note of encouragement for the school age children at Star of Hope. Please take a moment and “Leave a comment” on this blog. We will print your note, along with others we receive, and give them to the children before the first day of school.

Thanks for caring and making a difference in these children's lives!

I came upon this sight because i want to help, how neat that i can leave a message also. Here it goes... know that God is with you always even when it may seem like he is not........I think its because he is busy whispering in other peoples ears and touching there hearts, those people who can help to do something. Continue to pray and never forget GOD is Love and loving. Have a blessed school year.

One of the greatest days of your life is the first day of school. You can be afraid, happy, excited, hopeful and relaxed all in the same day, and that's okay. We all want you to have the greatest experience and learn all you can, because we know you can, and we believe in you.

Keep with your studies and never be afraid to ask questions. Remember an education is more than just studying but also about personal growth, making friends, finding your interests whether sports, arts, music, etc. Never be afraid to but yourself out there

Some days go by really fast. Other days go by kind of slow. But they all do go by and you never get them back. So make each day count for something.

I look at you and I see a beautiful child. Remember that you are no different from any other child you see. You can do everything you set your mind to. Do not give up when it gets hard. Keep going until you reach your goal. I do not know you but I love you and want you to have a successful life. Be blessed.
