This little lottery win has come at a very timely point for me. This year has been hard, and encouragement is deeply needed. For the past 16 years, I’ve been on a long journey toward healing and restored health. Without going into every detail, a combination of harmful dental work, severe mold exposure, and decades of marital abuse led to trauma, C-PTSD, and a constant state of fight/flight/freeze/fawn weakened my immune system, allowing harmful toxins to run the show. Today I live with daily nerve pain, and significant weakness and balance issues that make a wheelchair necessary most of the time (among many other symptoms). I’m a Christian, and I’ve tried to remain faithful in prayer and in God’s Word, but over the last few months I’ve felt weary—likely from trying to carry too much in my own strength. And yet, after so much suffering and many tears, the Lord gave me a truly good few days. Yesterday, my 92-year-old father's heart was softened and his soul was saved. This morning, the perpetual swelling in my neck glands were gone. I received an encouraging message from a friend. The sermon at church felt personally directed and uplifting. And then—this little lottery win. 😊 I know there aren’t many Group 7 participants anymore, so the amount won won’t be large, but the encouragement itself feels like a huge gift right now, and I’m deeply thankful. Whatever I receive will go toward insulating our tiny/small home for the winter. Due to mold exposure, my (new) husband and I (not the former jerk lol) had to move into an unfinished barn on our property in September, as both our house and camper are no longer livable for me because of severe autoimmune mold reactions. Thank you so much to all of you. This has meant more than I can say. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas. ⛪🕯️🤍❄️⛄ ⸻ From the EchoFam: ⸻ You can donate to me here: Venmo – @PattieCole Cash App – $plaidoak PayPal – [email protected] ⸻ ⚠️ Please Note ⚠️ 1.

My name is Maddy, and I’m from Missouri. I’m over the moon right now—the shock is finally wearing off and the magic of this moment is setting in! Just last night, I was lying in bed wondering how I was going to make it through this month. I recently left my job to follow my dream of opening a daycare—a place where children can feel safe, loved, and learn to manage their emotions through meditation and creative outlets. But I’m about 2 months from being operable, and things have been incredibly tight. As a mom of five girls, this blessing couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m beyond grateful for this support—it’s helping me bridge the gap and keep faith alive while I work toward creating something beautiful for the future. 💕 Thank you so much project Echoes!!!! 🫶 (I was divorced but remarried so my name will show Kinder on Venmo and PayPal, it’s still me though) ⸻ You can donate to me here: Venmo – https://venmo.com/u/maddykinder2008 Cash App – https://cash.app/$MaddyHutch08 PayPal – ⸻ ⚠️ Please Note ⚠️ 1.

Instead of spending a fortune on brand-new gifts, let’s get creative and resourceful together! 1. 💡 Share your best DIY gift ideas — fun, affordable ways to make something meaningful. 2. 🔄 Let’s talk about trading or repurposing old toys instead of buying new ones. I’ve been selling unused items on Facebook Marketplace and using that money to buy from other individuals — keeping it local, personal, and cutting out the big corporations. This year, I’m building a Barbie house for my youngest. I had one as a kid and realized it was way cooler than anything in stores today — so I’m bringing it back, DIY style! Now I’d love to hear your ideas — how are you saving, trading, or creating this season? 💕
