Thank you for visiting!
My name is Krys, I am a mom and grandma, ("Me-Me"). I work a full time day job as a senior designer at a civil engineering firm. I care for my mother and am an active member of my church. I make homemade all natural soaps, dabble in beauty products and make candles for fun. I began a ministry in my home church, East Thonotosassa Baptist Church, called Heavenly Hope. The goal is to spread God's love and hope to the homeless community and those in need. I make soap, so why not make soaps for those who need it. How much better do you feel when you are clean? Blessing bags first get a Bible, through Christ all things are possible and if we allow Him, God offers the ultimate Hope. Personal hygiene items are provided to help each person have the option to just feel better about themselves and get cleaned up. A healthy snack is typically canned chicken or tuna salad and crackers or a can of past or soap and a fruit cup or pudding, bottled water and some new socks. We give these items in a drawstring backpack which gives us the opportunity to talk and pray for each person who asks to. We know we can't MAKE anyone want a relationship with God, but we are more than willing to help anyone who wants to.
All our soaps are homemade and all natural. I do make the "Simple Shea Soap" for the blessing bags as well as lip balm and when possible I also make lotions and sunblock for the bags. (all natural). Of course this costs money, so I started selling my products to help with the cost. (We can't provide for the homeless if we are also homeless). So, Hope's Hands was made!
Candles are homemade,some are pre-made and some made to order. (I say "we" because my grand-daughter, Sirenity, also helps make candles.
Often times we hear "Why help the homeless, insert many reason's here" well, it's not up to us to decide who is deserving of help. Jesus died for each and every person. And the Bible tells us we are ALL worthy. But let me also tell you, when I was 15 years old, I lived on the streets - in a condemned trailer, because it was better than my home life. That was a chapter in my life and did not define me and every person has their own story. Yes some are on drugs, have mental illness and God loves them just as much as he loves you and me. And if we can reach ONE person, plant one seed and make one person see they DO matter, it is all worth it.
