Arizona delivery, Take 2!

I really love that Candice is handing these scarves out one at a time AND getting to know the person receiving it.
She says she 'loves the opportunity it gives her to meet other women going through cancer.' She also say's, 'There is something about going up to a perfect stranger and having something to give them that opens up a conversation versus me just randomly walking up to someone and trying to start a conversation. Honestly I feel so blessed to be just a simple messenger in this amazing project you started.' -Candice

'This is Kelly, single mom of 2 kids. She has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her cancer has spread to her brain, blood, and bones. Her mom died of the same disease nine months before she was diagnosed. She is very sick and in a lot of pain, but the entire time we visited, which was about an hour and a half, she smiled the entire way and was so uplifting and encouraging. Such a positive attitude and amazing story! She told me how her neighbors who were LDS did so much service and so many wonderful things for her and her family. That led them to find out about the church and getting baptized. She is so grateful for her new faith and for the direction it gives her and her family. '
'Giving her the scarf and finding her gives me a blessed friend for life!'
