SOME OF OUR CUSTOMER COMMENTS!
My package arrived - the bracelets are beautiful and I loved the bookmarkers - they will all be Christmas gifts along with my previous orders - I am passing your web-site on to others - such a wonderful cause and such lovely items. ~mary
You guys are the greatest!
I've shopped around, but I've never had the kind of personalized support I got from your store. Your web site was easy to navigate, the checkout process was a breeze, and when I called with questions, I received courteous and accurate answers to my questions. Thanks!


I received the bracelets and they are beautiful! Thank you so much for your ministry and timely service! We are excited to see what God does with our team's trip to Africa! We are building orphanages for the children! What a joy it is to partner with God to help the widows and orphans! Thank you for partnering with us! Serving with you, Sharon

The baskets just arrived and are absolutely beautiful, it will be my pleasure to wrap and give as gifts this year - Thank you so much for my order and everything you are doing for Gifts of Life! I will definately buy more baskets in the future! Jill


Dear Kim, The world is blessed with people like you. I am so grateful that I finally took the time to walk into your shop in No. Conway to see the incredible and unique wares that you sell. Listening to you converse about your dreams of helping less fortunate people, and your mission to help Joseph and his village makes me proud to know you. Your purpose is so admirable and yet so overwhelming. I promise I will speak of your mission to every person I come in contact with, and will send them to your shop. You will see me again soon. Hopefully the people of this valley will join forces to help your Kenyan family....village to village. Barbara M.


Kim- We just arrived home and I anxiously opened our email hoping to get the forward from you. I have not stopped thinking about your involvement with the family in Kenya and the mission you and your husband went out on a limb to begin. It took a great deal of passion and courage to begin such a task as you have taken on! We need more people like you in this world. So many times so many of us THINK about doing such things but never get around to doing it. You will continue to be blessed because of your efforts. If there is anything we can do to help you we will be happy to do so. We look forward to retirement (hopefully in North Conway) and time to pursue worthwhile efforts such as yours. I think it would be nice if you had more publicity about your projects. Has anyone contacted WMUR to have their Chronicles series do a special with you? If not, I would be happy t o try to line something up for you. Meeting you and seeing what you are doing gave us such inspiration and was definitely the highlight of our week in North Conway. Thank you for forwarding the information. God Bless! Sharon and Bob S.
