THOUGHTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORBy Bill Harmon
When I was researching the theme of this years "Friend's Club" brochure, I was almost moved to tears by what I found: “A friend is someone who makes it easy to believe in yourself.” I thought to myself, "What an awesome statement!" By becoming a part of Father Blaney’s Friends Club, people are truly empowering the Villagers to believe in themselves. We have been able to sustain ourselves over the years because all of you, our faithful supporters, have believed in the Share Foundation and embraced Father Blaney’s vision and our Villagers as friends. As I reflected on our theme this year, I recall all of the times that the Villagers have helped me believe in myself.
In February, my family was struck with a tragedy of losing my young, 32 year-old cousin. Of course, hundreds of questions came to mind, foremost, "Why did this happen?" and "Why would this young man who impacted so many, be called home so prematurely?" When I spoke with the Villagers about my loss, asking them to pray for my family and especially my aunt, one of our villagers raised his hand and looked up at me with a tear in his eye and said, “It’s okay, Bill, he now has a home with Jesus in Heaven.” I just stopped. What a statement of faith! In that moment, my friend taught me a great lesson. Trust in God, always. Those who mourn can find comfort. My friends here at Sharing Meadows taught me this.
I tell you this story because I encourage you to visit Sharing Meadows and continue your friendship with our Villagers. My friends here deserve the world, which is exactly what we try to give them every single day. Your support allows them to believe in themselves, and ultimately helps others believe in themselves as well. I can’t even begin to thank you enough for your generosity in supporting these people, whom I love dearly. Together we can give the Villagers the opportunity to change other people’s lives by their thoughtfulness and their friendship.
May God bless all of the friends of the Share Foundation. Know that you are appreciated.

MEMORIALSMemorials are a special way to
honor the memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion for ourselves, our family, or our friends. We are grateful for all memorial donations, large and small, that we receive. We would like to remind you of our policy that thank you letters and acknowledgement cards are not sent for any memorials received that are less than $10.00 per name. They will be printed in the GOOD NEWS but no cards or letters will be sent. Due to the increasing cost of paper, postage and time to send cards and letters, it is not good stewardship to spend the donations you have entrusted to us to fill mailboxes with mail.
Memorial donations of $10.00or more per name will continue tobe handled with a thank you letter,acknowledgement to family andlisting in the newsletter. If you donot require a thank you letter,please mark the envelope so thatwe can code your account and wecan save the cost of a letter and usethe funds for our programs forother abled people. Thank you foryour understanding!
