Welcome to Shane's Hearts of Hope

Shane's Hearts of Hope was born out of the need for our family to continue honoring the life of a son, a nephew, a brother, a cousin and a friend.

Our dear Shane made a life changing decision on January 18, 2015 that not only ended his life, but changed ours forever.  Being a suicide survivor has taught us many things, the biggest lesson learned is that we appreciate every moment of every day with every person we are blessed to know.

Sometimes we forget that life is so short and we forget to tell one another how much we mean to each other.  Shane's Hearts of Hope is an effort to remind ourselves, remind others we love and remind complete strangers that their life matters. 

I may not know you personally, but I know that you are loved by many. We are praying that Shane's Hearts of Hope will touch you and remind you that you are a special, you have a special place in someone's life and you are loved.

Our mission at Shane's Hearts of Hope is to provide small moments of hope, encouragement and love to all who find our hearts. 

We collect handmade hearts that are crocheted or knit by our wonderful team of volunteers.  The hearts are tagged and given for FREE to anyone who wishes to spread hope to someone who needs a pick-me-up or to be left in public places for others to find. 

 Each heart has a tag attached with an encouraging saying or quote reminding the recipient that they are special.  Additionally, the tag has a request of the recipient in which we ask that if they are able, to share a photo of the heart they 'discovered' and post it to our Facebook page. 

OUR HOPE is that with each of Shane's Hearts of Hope the recipient will have a moment of love that will touch their lives and will provide them with the knowledge that they matter.

Thank you so much for your interested Teri Ann Snedaker, I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, somehow your comment slipped into a mess of emails :)

There are many things you can do to help out, you can have some hearts mailed to you (see distribute hearts), you can make hearts anyway that you are able to craft them, I will be putting the FAQ on our website soon, but you can read it on our Facebook page at Shanes Hearts of Hope on Facebook. Or you can help us by donating supplies to make hearts or tags. Please let me know how you would like to help.

Also, please send a photo of your son Patrick to include in our In Memory of Page.

God bless you and may He continue to provide you with comfort.
