Today I would like to introduce you to the company called “My Hope and Healing” owned by Cancer survivor Cheryl Williams. After surviving a battle with cancer Cheryl started the “My Hope and Healing” company with her first product little “Prayer Cloths” that were inscribed with healing scriptures. Over time…the company added more beautiful products to their product line including adult blankets, lap throws, snuggle pals, spa wraps and toddler blankets.
The products that you find at “My Hope and Healing” are perfect for people battling cancer or any chronic illness. As a person who suffers with the rare genetic disease called Porphyria…I can personally tell you that these products can be very comforting to someone who is ill.
My Review: Cheryl was very generous to send me her “New Life Blanket” which is absolutely gorgeous! This blanket arrived at the perfect time for me since I am having a Porphyria flare-up and having a really bad pain week. The blanket measures 58″ by 70″ in size so it has generous sizing and is the perfect size for the average adult. The fabrication is super soft…minky fabrication and feels oh so good up against your skin! Those who suffer with chronic medical problems often get skin irritations so it’s important to have soft items against your skin and this blanket is the softest blanket I have ever felt! (I need pajamas made out of this fabric!).
The front of the minky blanket is done in a beautiful butterfly print which is on an aqua colored background. The butterflies are in chocolate brown, fuchsia and lime green. The backside of the minky blanket is done in a solid fuchsia color and the blanket is trimmed up with white minky fabric. All of these colors blend beautifully together!
Along one edge of the white trim you will find some beautiful embroidery work done in dark aqua and dark fuchsia colors. It says “My Hope and Healing”, Strength, Encouragement, Wisdom and then the bible verse: Jeremiah 17:14. This entire blanket is high-quality and impeccably made! It truly is beautiful artwork!
Now when I have my flare-ups I love snuggling up in this gorgeous blanket as it feels so good next to my skin. I love rubbing my hands across it’s soft fabric as it just feels comforting and soothing to me. I find great strength when I read those 3 embroidered words on the edging that say “Strength, Encouragement, Wisdom” which are 3 important words that we all need to feel and hear…even when we are not ill but especially when we are ill!
I am absolutely in love with this blanket and I know when I need special gifts for sick family members and friends I will be shopping at “My Hope and Healing”. When you give these products to an ill family member or friend…it is a gift that they will treasure for their lifetime! I know as I am snuggling with it I now think of Cheryl and how she overcame this obstacle in her life and that gives me hope & strength. I am giving this product 10 stars out of 10 stars! It is fantastic!!!!
I would personally like to thank My Hope and Healing for sending me the product(s) to review here on the TCC Blog and for sponsoring a giveaway for all of our wonderful readers.
