In this uncertain space between birth and death … we need hope as surely as
we need food and water, love and friendship. The trick, however, is to remember
that hope is a perilous thing, that it's not a steel and concrete bridge across the
void between this moment and a brighter future. Hope is no stronger than
tremulous beads of dew strung on a filament of spider web, and it alone can't
long support the terrible weight of an anguished mind and a tortured heart.
- by T.G.S.R.
It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action,

HOUSEWIFE MAFIA CURRENT PROJECT
To provide 100,000 gifts of much needed and well earned comfort for our deployed troops.
House Wife Mafia is partnering with Soldiers Angel to purchase cool scarves for our active duty military.
Our goal is to have 100,000 donated by April 1st. That is when the temperatures start getting over 100 degrees over in the Middle East.
This is an item the soldiers are really asking for.
The total cost to have one shipped over there is $5 bucks.
All donations are made directly to Soldiers Angels - a 501c3 Non Profit started by a soldiers mother so that no soldier would go unloved.
They accept Paypal to make it super fast and easy for you.
Together we really can make a big difference with just a small amount of effort.
We hope you will join us to show the world just what we can accomplish when we work together!
