How I feel when I do the Handmade Hope is happy, comfortable, sometimes sad. When I do Handmade Hope is when I actually look at the photos and think, where was I then and what I was doing. When I do go to the Indiana Donor Network and see and meet some families there because of Handmade Hope, is simply amazing and makes me wonder who they lost and what they donated and how many lives the saved and how many recipients they’ve met.
