        Maddie's Hands LLC is a small card business started for our daughter who has a rare condition called VACTERL association.  To thank people for their support when she was going through a rough time with her health, we gave our donors a pack of our any occasion cards. Proceeds from our sales go directly to her medical expenses.

 

    The cards are uniquely photgraphed images of Maddie's hands holding all the beautiful things she loves. Her hands are the outward sign of her condition and the images capture the beauty, joy and blessing our family wishes to share with others. 

 

  November 2015, our family decided to do Christmas give back project called  Re~PurPurse.

 

Feeling inspired to put the word out, family and friends joined in collecting and delivering to small charities who serve the homeless and needy of New Hampshire. As we keep growing, I am moved by the need so close to home. With the help of many big hearts and hands Re~PurPurse by Maddie's Hands continues to grow and donate the goods we collect.

COLLECT -

From family, friends, work or school

 

WHAT -

Gently used purses or back packs for men and women, hygiene product,  feminine products, water bottles, seasonal accessaries, like hats, mitts, scarves, warmers, rain wear, flashlites, ect.  Our links under the services page will show what is needed and will fit in a backpack or large purse. Undergarments are a hard to come by expense, and very badly needed. You name it, we'll take it and if it doesn't fit in our purses or backpacks, it will still go to the shelters.

 

NEXT -

All donations, which are delivered, mailed or we pick up, make it into each purse or backpack as equal as possible. For example: if we get a donation of a three pack of hand sanitizer, we'll separate the pack to make sure three purses get one. All are donations are in good shape, gently used or brand new. We collect for men and women.  Our goal is to have everything a person could need already in a purse or backpack so the work of organizing is already done. 

 

LAST -

Our "hands" deliver to our chosen charity or organization per drive. For example: we will collect about 20 to 30 purses and backpacks, fill with product and take to one organization who serves a particular need, like the homeless, or those in a shelter, or mothers in trasitional or safe housing.
