Each year Activ8Her provides gift baskets or bags packed full of gifts for single moms in our chapters' communities in honor of our late friend, Cindy Shipley Blaske. For more than 25 years Cindy, Chrissy, and Kolleen sat around the table and studied the Word of God together.

 

They were dear friends who often cried together, and loved living life together. They solved many of the world's problems together, too. Well, probably not the world's, but they did work together to solve the difficulties in each of their own personal worlds. Cindy was a single mom of twins, often struggling with the ability to provide all that her kids needed.

When needed, she wasn't afraid to go without for her kids, or even for another single mom.

When Cindy passed away from lung cancer a few years ago, her last words to Kolleen were,

"We're going to change the world, you and I."  Yes, Cindy, that's what we're going to do. 

 

In 2021, after learning that single moms often have no gift under the Christmas tree for themselves, God began to reveal His intentions to bring Cindy's last words to fruition. Because of Cindy's influence, we began to change the world for single moms through

our Christmas event in Cindy's honor and for God's glory. We invite you to participate

as we help provide a single mom with A Very Merry Cindy Christmas!
