As a 15-year contributor to Mission of Love (MOL) I’ve seen Founder Kathleen Price’s determined leadership, inspiring role-modeling, constant compassion, and excellent communication skills: clear – gets jobs done, grateful – draws volunteers and donations.
Kathleen’s spark began simply wanting to “help people less fortunate.” Starting in 1989, at home, pre-computer, the self-taught, former floral shop owner has expanded MOL through ambition, word of mouth, and networking. Now, life improving impacts MOL has accomplished can be measured in hundreds of completed missions: building, service, and delivery of humanitarian aid. Thousands of lives have received millions of pounds of aid worldwide. Additionally, the yearly Mission of Love Good Newsletter documents projects, trips, missions and volunteers positively impacted by serving others.
I support Mission of Love for these unique qualities:
Shining - the sheer distances MOL travels, worldwide and domestically, to serve and distribute humanitarian aid benefiting indigenous communities and individuals. Reaching 29 countries utilizing:
• trucks, ships, planes, buses
• 85+ cargo airlifts via the US Department of Defense Denton Program
• horses for impassable roads!
“Valuable” – for 35 years, MOL has run solely on volunteers and donations:
• time, talents, services, funds
• supplies: medical, building, educational, food, clothing, bedding
• vehicles: pickup trucks, school buses, fire truck, ambulances
Uplifting - the heart of MOL’s purpose: providing humanitarian aid to those in need worldwide, especially children and indigenous communities:
• Maya in Tecpan, Guatemala - School of Love: children with disabilities, Grandmothers Home: homeless, disabled children, elderly women, House of God: children w/cancer, Eye and Hearing Missions: exams/treatments, cleft palate missions completed
• Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation, S.Dakota - 35 homes, school, warehouse, community buildings, hospice were built.
• Xhualtez, Mexico – built medical clinic; Isla Mujerus, México - clinic / school, Francisco Madera, Mexico / clinic, Chichen Itza, Mexico - Maya workshop / school
• Haiti - Earthquake Relief for orphaned children
• Guatemala – nine missions for children’s cleft lip and palate surgeries
• Ukraine – containers of fire gear, humanitarian aid, food and rice were sent
• Lafitte, LA, Bowling Green, KY, 911 natural disasters ~ 11,000 comfort quilts were sent throughout the world to those survived who survived natural disasters, homes were built.
Kathleen Price, Mission of Love’s Founder and director, is a force for humanity, and certainly worthy to continue transforming lives via your donations.
