Hope is Alive Project - 2015 Shelly and her sister Laura started a service project to honor those lost too soon to addiction. They raised money from generous sponsors to make a total of 36 backpacks filled with needed essentials to be passed out to women on the streets of Akron. Their mission was to share love and to give hope to those still caught in the bonds of addiction. Each backpack was created in memory of a loved one lost to addiction and was embroidered with that person's name and dates. The goal of the project was to bring comfort, love, and hope to the recipient while honoring a loved one lost to the disease of addiction. |
