We were fortunate to have some extra time off to make a trip to the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea, Florida. They have been doing awesome work since the oil spill…working on a project called “Operation Noah’s Ark” (read/view videos here).
We were able to drop off some postcards that we designed in hope of making a little extra money for the Operation Noah’s Ark Project. Be sure to visit their website which is quite educational and informative!
We are excited to announce: we have several products which we’ve designed, with all proceeds being donated to Operation Noah’s Ark/Gulf Specimen Marine Lab. Designs below:

Since IgnitedHope is all about gratitude and inspiration, we thought it was necessary to include a list of our favorite Twitter inspirations (as well as a few who aren’t on Twitter):
Terami Hirsch
First and foremost is Terami Hirsch, we would not be on Twitter without her. She is the person that started my mother on this incredible journey (and by default~us).
Terami has one of the most beautiful CD’s available (one of our favorites): A Broke Machine…pure beauty & brilliance. We were lucky enough to enjoy her presence at our house while she was on her last tour, she is beautiful inside and out.

Kendra was one of our first inspirations on Twitter. It was wonderful to see someone using Twitter as a tool to motivate/educate people on the different ways we could help in making this world a better place.
We Love you Kendra! You have inspired and motivated many through all of your work!

We would like to introduce you to the story of Natalie, a beautiful 8 year old girl who has touched our hearts.
“Natalie is 8 years old. She has a little brother, Sean, and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. After five difficult rounds of chemotherapy last year, Natalie’s leukemia was in remission. Now it’s back and we have just weeks to find the bone marrow donor match that Natalie needs to save her life.”
There are several ways in which you can become involved, please visit these websites for more info:
